US-Iran Talks Set to Resume After Khamenei Funeral

US-Iran negotiations were reportedly set to resume after Ali Khamenei's funeral pause, with sanctions, frozen funds and nuclear talks on the agenda. Qatari and Pakistani mediation left the sides committed to another round after the funeral processions, while Khamenei's burial is scheduled for July 9 in Mashhad. The talks are currently paused as Iran stages days of ceremonies for the leader killed in US-Israeli strikes. For Israel, the core test is unchanged: no diplomatic track is acceptable unless it locks down Iran's nuclear work, Hormuz coercion and Hezbollah leverage.
