Ongoing military tensions, including resumed US strikes and Iranian actions over the Strait of Hormuz following the June 2026 memorandum of understanding, sustain deep mistrust and block steps toward diplomatic normalization. The United States continues to lack formal relations with Iran, relying on Switzerland's protecting power role for consular matters amid active hostilities, sanctions enforcement, and unresolved disputes over nuclear activities and regional proxies. These factors underpin the 95.5% trader consensus against reopening an embassy in 2026. A durable ceasefire resolving Hormuz access, followed by sanctions relief and bilateral agreements, could theoretically enable progress before year-end, though current developments show limited momentum for full restoration of ties.
