Trump reasserts US negotiating leverage through military pressure followed by diplomatic claims, attempting to position himself as dealmaker. Iran maintains defensive posture, denying premature claims to avoid appearing weak domestically. Israel's role as US ally reinforced. Gulf states caught between US-Iran competition. Global energy markets reactive to perceived de-escalation signals.
Similar to Trump's 2018 Iran nuclear deal withdrawal followed by 'maximum pressure' campaign, then subsequent on-off negotiations. Pattern of unilateral claims followed by Iranian denials mirrors previous cycles of brinkmanship.
