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

ME News message: On April 12 (UTC+8), despite the efforts made by all sides, the US and Iran have still not reached an agreement. There is a draft understanding on the table. Judging from the statements made by Vice President Vance, there is still some possibility—he said this is their final and best plan. A source said that the good news is that the negotiations have not broken down, but the bad news is that no breakthrough has been achieved. It is understood that the two sides have held about five rounds of talks, and after each round there were written exchanges, so it seems that some broader framework is already in place. At present, there is a proposal and a counterproposal. We need to pay attention to Iran’s response, because the source interviewed believes that the US side has put forward maximum demands, especially on the issue of the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran is unwilling to make concessions on this issue.(Jin10 ) (Source: BlockBeats)
