The same conclusion keeps arriving from across the workspace's research — 2 topics independently instantiate this theme. Filter the evidence by where it came from:
The U.S.-brokered peace framework remains extremely fragile and punctuated by airstrikes because the core combatant was not a signing party and disarmament terms were deferred.
The E3's anxiety stems from a US push that would defer core security guarantees and sovereignty flashpoints, threatening a fragile and lopsided peace.
The bilateral peace framework collapsed within weeks because negotiators set up a temporary ceasefire that deferred the hard sovereign flashpoints to a secondary phase.
The preliminary bilateral deal risks collapse by punting the terminal security questions of shipping tolls, sanctions, and force postures to a later stage.
The Doha technical talks are threatened because mediators postponed the core sovereign dispute over the waterway's administration to a secondary phase.
Superpower mediation efforts are repeatedly stalled because local combatants refuse to accept imposed terms and demand their core territorial and sovereign realities are resolved first.
A broad peace framework risks fracturing because mediators postponed the core sovereign shipping dispute to a secondary negotiating phase.
Postponing the core dispute over maritime sovereignty and tolls during initial negotiations leaves the temporary ceasefire framework on the verge of collapse.
Ceasefires in the Strait of Hormuz collapse when mediators fail to resolve the core sovereign demands and sanctions issues raised by the host nation.
Ceasefire frameworks fracture because central territorial sovereign disputes are deferred to a secondary phase, enabling regional powers to maintain active occupation forces on the ground.
Negotiators are scrambling to manage immediate de-escalation while pushing the central, highly volatile nuclear disagreements to secondary technical rounds.
The failure of Doha talks to address deep sovereign and maritime security flashpoints led directly to the total collapse of the interim ceasefire.

The failure to resolve core territorial and sovereign disputes during the temporary 60-day window has triggered the collapse of the ceasefire and the resumption of blockades.
