Iran Day 15: Trump hails 'VERY GOOD MEETINGS' at Doha indirect talks (via Pakistani + Qatari mediators); Vance: 'CORE MISSION ACCOMPLISHED' + US 'all the cards'; Iran focused on frozen assets + Hormuz; Oman delivers Hormuz proposal
Day 89 / cycle Day 15. Trump Wed hails Tue-night-into-Wed Doha indirect talks as 'very good meetings.' VP Vance: US has 'accomplished the core mission' making sure Iran never has nuclear weapon + US has 'all the cards' in talks. Iran-side focus per Reuters senior Iranian official: release of Tehran's FROZEN ASSETS + Strait of Hormuz. Oman delivered a Hormuz proposal separately. Talks began Tuesday night, mediators (Pakistan + Qatar) conveyed points between delegations.

Trump's 'very good meetings' upgrade signals substantive progress on Day 15 of 60-day window.

Iran focus on FROZEN ASSETS = the specific sanctions-lifting Iran seeks; matches the sanctions-track working-group agenda.

Vance 'all the cards' framing = US-side maximum-leverage posture; matches multi-track institutional architecture stability.

Why it matters Cycle bull-thesis firms on Trump-upgrade + Vance-core-mission + Iran-frozen-assets-agenda + Oman-Hormuz-proposal. 3-milestone probability slightly UP.
