Bloomberg identified Hormuz transit tolls and uranium enrichment moratorium length (US demands 20 years; Iran offered 5; 12–15-year compromise under discussion) as the two core deal sticking points. The week saw Amnesty International document 2,159 executions in Iran in 2025 — the highest since 1981 — and four more secret executions on May 21 including Kurdish political activists at Naqadeh Prison. Mojtaba Khamenei, elected Supreme Leader in March 2026 following his father Ali&apos;s killing, is now included in political records. A new Strait of Hormuz map point reflects IRGC control of the chokepoint and its centrality to peace negotiations.</description><pubDate>Fri, 22 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>daily</category></item><item><title>Iran: 2,500-Year History Update — Thu May 21, 2026</title><link>https://watchboard.dev/iran/#digest-2026-05-21/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://watchboard.dev/iran/#digest-2026-05-21/</guid><description>President Masoud Pezeshkian met with Army Commander-in-Chief Major General Amir Hatami in Tehran.
