U.S. officials confirmed that a deal with Iran was not signed as of today, but reported that negotiations are ongoing with increasing percentages of agreement. The latest updates indicate that the likelihood of a deal has risen to 25.5% by May 26, according to Crypto Briefing.

Coverage diverges in how each outlet frames the situation. Crypto Briefing presents a neutral account focused on the lack of a signed deal, while RedState emphasizes optimism about progress, suggesting a deal is imminent. In contrast, ABC News highlights past military actions and the broader context of U.S.-Iran relations, which may imply skepticism about the negotiations.

No outlet addressed the potential implications of the ongoing negotiations on regional stability or the perspectives of Iranian officials, which could provide a more comprehensive view of the situation. This omission reflects a blindspot in the coverage, particularly among the right-leaning and center sources.
