WASHINGTON: The ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran aimed at ending their confrontation seem to hang in the balance, after developments over the weekend seemed to throw a spanner in the works.

Iran did not take part in technical talks slated for Sunday due to recent attacks on the country and unfulfilled conditions of the MoU with the United States, a member of the Supreme Leader’s Office told Iranian state TV on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal, CNBC and NBC News reported on Sunday that negotiations scheduled to continue in Switzerland had been postponed amid the renewed hostilities.

US outlet Axios, however, quoted a senior US official as saying that both sides had agreed to stop strikes against each other.
