The United States and Iran have moved closer to a potential framework agreement aimed at ending ongoing tensions, following progress in talks held on Tuesday, according to a report by Axios. US officials said negotiations have advanced; however, both sides have yet to finalize a deal due to lingering differences.
Officials confirmed that President Donald Trumpโs negotiating team continues active engagement with Iranian counterparts. Moreover, both sides are exchanging draft proposals as they attempt to narrow gaps and reach a consensus. Despite this progress, uncertainty still surrounds the outcome of the negotiations.
A second US official stated that Washington has not formally agreed to extend the current ceasefire. Nevertheless, diplomatic engagement continues as both countries explore possible terms for an agreement. Meanwhile, discussions remain focused on addressing key political and economic concerns.
US officials also highlighted mounting economic pressure on Iran as a significant factor influencing the talks. They pointed to the US naval blockade, which has sharply reduced Iranโs oil exports and intensified the countryโs financial challenges. As a result, Washington believes Tehran faces increasing urgency to negotiate.
Furthermore, one official emphasized the severity of Iranโs economic situation, suggesting it strengthens the US position in the ู ุฐุงฺฉุฑุงุช. At the same time, Iranian leaders continue to weigh their options while participating in ongoing dialogue.
The talks mark a critical moment in efforts to ease tensions between the two nations. Both sides now face the challenge of resolving outstanding issues to secure a lasting agreement.
