Iran Rift Threatens Hormuz Route and US Talks as Pezeshkian Seeks Assets

Summary
Iran’s internal split has emerged as a new obstacle in peace talks with the US, raising the risk of delays and fresh uncertainty over shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
Masoud Pezeshkian is pushing for the release of frozen overseas assets to support economic recovery, while the IRGC is demanding control over Hormuz.
That clash matters beyond diplomacy because Hormuz is a key artery for global crude shipments, so any dispute over its control can unsettle oil transit expectations.
The power struggle adds a domestic political variable to already fragile US-Iran negotiations, complicating both the timetable for talks and the outlook for regional trade flows.
