According to Iran's ISNA News Agency, the US and Iran are having indirect discussions to create a framework for a potential deal.
The article states that draft texts and messages are currently being exchanged between the two parties. Earlier, an Iranian official told Al Jazeera that a deal was "very close" to being reached.
According to the source, Mohsin Naqvi is now in Iran to discuss the state of the Strait of Hormuz as part of intense mediation efforts.
Al Jazeera pointed out that it's still too early to say whether a final deal is possible.The Washington Post has learned that the negotiations take place at a crucial time because the United States has yielded up a significant portion of its inventory of advanced missile defence interceptors after burning the candle at both ends for defending Israel with munitions as opposed to Israel itself in its fight with Iran.
The disparity in the weighing scale raises questions about the US's commitment to international security, according to US officials who talked to The Washington Post under condition of anonymity on Thursday (local time).
In addition to firing more than 100 Standard Missile-3 and Standard Missile-6 interceptors from naval boats in the eastern Mediterranean, the United States launched more than 200 Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) interceptors to defend Israel, depleting about half of the Pentagon's stock.Israel, on the other hand, fired about 90 David's Sling interceptors and less than 100 Arrow interceptors, some of which were deployed against less advanced projectiles fired by Iran-backed organisations in Lebanon and Yemen.
US President Donald Trump declared earlier in the day that Iran will not be allowed to retain the enriched uranium.We receive the extremely wealthy. We'll succeed. We don't want it, and we don't need it. Once we get it, we will most likely destroy it. However, we won't give it to them. the war in Iran. That will come to an end very soon. And when it's all over, the cost of petrol will be less than it was before', he stated.
