Chaotic talks on a US-Iran deal continue on the Trump rollercoaster

Progressive: Progressive-leaning outlets emphasize the contradiction between Trump's rhetoric of peace and his continued military strikes and aggressive rhetoric against Iran. They also highlight humanitarian concerns, including casualties among civilian tanker workers from US operations.

Moderate: Centrist outlets present the negotiations as simultaneously advancing and strained, acknowledging diplomatic progress on issues such as frozen funds and interim agreements while noting that ongoing military actions and escalation undermine optimism about reaching a durable settlement.

Conservative: Conservative-leaning outlets emphasize Trump's confidence in an imminent agreement, focusing on his statements that a deal could be signed within days and highlighting terms favorable to US interests, including Iran's commitment to forgo nuclear weapons and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz contingent upon settlement.
