May 26, 2025 3 Neutral General

Rome, Italy: American and Iranian diplomats wrapped a fifth round of nuclear negotiations, deadlocked over uranium enrichment. The U.S. demands zero enrichment for Iran, tying sanction relief to compliance. Tehran insists it must retain enrichment capabilities for peaceful use. Mediation by Oman’s foreign minister continues behind closed doors. With major stakes in nonproliferation and regional stability, both sides face pressure to break the stalemate—yet so far, no deal is in sight.

What this means for you:

•	If you’re in regions reliant on oil imports, watch for price fluctuations within 2–4 weeks as any easing or escalation of tensions can shift energy markets.
•	For U.S. businesses with Middle Eastern ties, keep a 1–2 month window for potential changes in export rules or sanctions.
•	If you have international travel plans, especially to the region, review State Department advisories monthly for safety updates.
•	In the meantime, consider diversifying energy sources at home—like solar—to mitigate possible spikes in oil prices if talks fail.
