A deal to end the war may be closer than at any point in the last eighty-five days — but two unresolved demands could still push the region back to the brink.

As the ceasefire holds, Washington and Tehran remain locked in a final standoff over Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile and control of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump has paused planned military strikes and warned that a “full, large scale assault” remains ready if negotiations fail. Iran’s leadership is weighing concessions that months ago would have been politically unthinkable.

In this episode of Epic Fury, we break down:

  • The secret fourteen-point framework being reviewed in Tehran
  • Why the Strait of Hormuz toll dispute could collapse the deal
  • The uranium standoff at the centre of the negotiations
  • Trump’s latest military threats and Rubio’s warning to Iran
  • How oil markets reacted to signs of a possible breakthrough
  • Israel’s growing concerns about the proposed agreement
  • The internal political pressures facing Iran’s new Supreme Leader
  • Why Gulf Arab states pushed Trump to delay new strikes
  • What happens next if Tehran rejects the deal

Day eighty-five ends with the ceasefire intact, the strait still effectively closed, and the world waiting for Iran’s answer.
