Opinion: Although the US-Iran negotiations have not broken down nor made a breakthrough, diplomatic efforts are still ongoing.

ME News Report, April 12 (UTC+8): despite extensive efforts from all sides, the US and Iran still have not reached an agreement. There is a draft understanding on the table. According to 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 broken down, but the bad news is that they have also failed to make a breakthrough.

It is understood that there have been about five rounds of talks, and there were written exchanges after each round, suggesting that some broader framework is now in place. There is currently a proposal and a counter-proposal. We need to pay attention to Iran’s response, because the interviewed source believes that the US side has put forward maximum demands, especially regarding the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran is unwilling to make concessions on this issue.
