The US is not giving Israel direct updates on its indirect talks with Iran, according to a Middle East Eye report. Qatar, Pakistan and Oman are relaying messages between Washington and Tehran on the Strait of Hormuz, sanctions relief and Iran's nuclear program, and prediction markets are pricing mixed odds on a meeting between the two sides before key dates this month.
Washington is not giving Israel direct updates on its talks with Iran, according to a report from Middle East Eye. The gap comes as the US and Iran negotiate indirectly, with Qatar, Pakistan and Oman acting as intermediaries between the two sides.
The talks center on the Strait of Hormuz, sanctions relief and Iran's nuclear program. That silence toward Israel could suggest a particularly delicate stage in the diplomatic process, with the US choosing a more controlled release of information rather than looping in its ally.
Prediction markets are showing mixed movements in recent odds on whether the US and Iran will meet by key dates. Current pricing suggests some participants see the lack of direct updates as consistent with a decreased likelihood of a meeting before August 31, 2026, with sub-market deadlines also falling on August 15.
Statements from US or Israeli officials, or any visible shift in the mediating roles played by Qatar, Pakistan and Oman, would offer the clearest signal of whether the negotiations are advancing or stalling.
