Explosions near the Strait of Hormuz as US-Iran talks continue. What happens next?

Explosions have been reported on Iran’s Qeshm Island and near the Strait of Hormuz as the United States and Iran continue indirect talks aimed at ending the conflict. US officials say American forces carried out limited defensive strikes against Iranian targets in the strategic waterway, following reported threats to US assets. The developments come as diplomatic efforts, facilitated by Qatar and other mediators, seek to secure an agreement that could reopen the Strait of Hormuz and ease tensions. With both sides signalling openness to diplomacy while maintaining military readiness, what happens next? And can negotiations prevent a wider escalation in a region critical to global energy supplies?
