New details are emerging from high-stakes U.S.-Iran talks, revealing exactly where—and why—the negotiations broke down, with a major dispute over Tehran’s nuclear program at the center of the collapse.

The U.S. pushes forward with a blockade on Iran, but key allies push back, with Britain refusing to assist until after the war—highlighting growing divisions among Western partners.

Gulf allies are running low on air defense systems after weeks of fighting and may be looking beyond the United States for weapons, signaling potential cracks in long-standing defense relationships.
