LONDON/DUBAI: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday that negotiating a deal with Iran could “take a few days”, dimming hopes for an imminent end to the conflict after the US conducted “defensive strikes” in southern Iran.
A foreign ministry spokesperson in Tehran said earlier that conclusions had been reached on many topics discussed in a potential 14-point memorandum of understanding, but this did not mean a deal to end the war would be reached soon.
At what stage are the discussions
Following a ceasefire on April 7, the two sides have remained at odds on Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Israel’s invasion of Lebanon and Tehran’s demands for the lifting of sanctions and the release of frozen assets.
