U.S.-Iran Talks: Not Broken Yet, Not Broken Through Either—Diplomatic Efforts Continue

April 12 news, according to Al Jazeera, despite the many efforts made by all sides, the U.S. and Iran have yet to reach an agreement. There is a draft understanding on the table. Judging from Vice President Vance’s statement, there is still some possibility—he said this is their final and best plan. A source said the good news is that the negotiations have not fallen apart, but the bad news is that they have also failed to achieve a breakthrough. It is understood that the two sides held about five rounds of talks, and after each round there were written exchanges of views, so it seems that some broader framework is already in place. At present, there is a proposal and a counter-proposal. We need to focus on Iran’s response, because the interviewed source believes that the U.S. has made maximum demands, especially on the issue of the Strait of Hormuz, and that Iran is unwilling to yield on this issue.
