Former US ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro has stated that President Donald Trump misjudged the US-Iran conflict from the start. In an interview with CNBC, Shapiro described the situation as a stalemate, with no significant progress toward a resolution. The conflict, which began with US and Israeli strikes on Iran, centers on control over the Strait of Hormuz and has seen no lasting ceasefire or diplomatic breakthrough. Despite efforts by mediators like Qatar, Oman, and Pakistan, diplomatic efforts, including potential peace talks, remain uncertain. Observers are closely monitoring announcements from key players, including the US and Iranian governments, that could indicate a shift in talks.
