WSJ Iran and US push for deal framework amid nuclear talks
The webangah News Agency cites The Wall Street Journal’s exclusive report on the fifth round of indirect talks between Iran and the U.S. in Rome.
According to the report, current negotiations aim to establish a political understanding that would outline key principles for a future agreement. Complete technical discussions on final details would follow once this initial understanding is reached.
The report notes parallels with the 2013 interim agreement preceding JCPOA, which set parameters for final negotiations.Though, that process took 18 months, and there’s no guarantee of success this time either. Such an approach could buy Iran notable time while perhaps limiting Israel’s options during Trump’s presidency.
The primary sticking point remains uranium enrichment levels. Without consensus on whether enrichment should be “zero” or “limited,” progress on detailed negotiations remains unfeasible - risking repetition of previous political deadlocks.
The analysis suggests when Trump references imminent agreements,he likely means nearing a political understanding (particularly if enrichment disputes resolve) that he could frame as a major achievement – though falling short of an actual finalized deal.
