U.S. Says ‘Slight Progress’ in Iran Talks Amid Uncertainty About Whether War Will Resume
Rubio said the sides have narrowed gaps, but enriched uranium and other nuclear issues still block a deal, officials said.
- On Thursday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said there have been "some good signs" regarding a potential peace deal with Iran, though he cautioned against being "overly optimistic" about developments in the "coming days."
- Negotiations remain deadlocked over Tehran's enriched uranium stockpile, as Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued a "directive" that the material "should not be sent abroad," according to Iranian sources cited by Reuters.
- Pakistani mediators are intensifying efforts, with Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi meeting President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Tehran, while a senior Iranian source noted "gaps have been narrowed."
- Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun confirmed Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will visit China later this week, where President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Qiang will discuss a "fair and balanced" role in Middle East peace.
- Trump has vowed to seize the enriched material, stating, "We will get it. We'll probably destroy it after we get it, but we're not going to let them have it," while Rubio affirmed the administration will "do everything we can" to secure a deal.
