Ongoing military conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran since February 2026, including airstrikes near the former U.S. compound in Tehran and threats to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, has kept bilateral relations at a low point. A June memorandum of understanding and subsequent technical talks produced a fragile ceasefire framework, but implementation stalled amid resumed exchanges and regional instability, with the State Department directing reduced embassy staffing across the Middle East into August. Switzerland continues as the protecting power handling limited communications, and no steps toward restoring a physical U.S. diplomatic presence have been announced. These verified developments sustain the trader consensus reflected in the 95% implied probability against reopening before year-end, though a verified breakthrough in nuclear or sanctions talks could still shift assessments.
