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

ME News report: On April 12 (UTC+8), despite the many efforts made by all sides, the US and Iran still have not reached 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 also their best, plan. A source said the good news is that the negotiations have not broken down, but the bad news is that they also failed to make a breakthrough. It is understood that the two sides held about five rounds of talks, and there was a written exchange after each round, so it appears 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 interview source believes that the US side has put forward maximum demands, especially regarding the issue of the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran is unwilling to make concessions on this matter.
