The bigger concern is what happens if they reach the interim deal that they're talking about now?
They buy a bit more time, they negotiate for a few months over a final agreement, and they just can't resolve the substantive disputes between their two sides to get to a final deal.
Do we then end up in a position where, you know, great, we've extended the ceasefire by a few months, but it all falls apart later this summer or in the autumn?
I think on some parts of the nuclear issue, they are closer.
If you go back to the two previous rounds of negotiations before the war between America and Iran,
The American position was pretty clear.
They wanted Iran to renounce any uranium enrichment entirely.
Iran was not allowed to enrich anything.
And the Iranians insisted that they would never give up on what they see as their inalienable right to enrich uranium.
Where we're at right now is they seem to have converged on the idea of a time-bound moratorium on enrichment.
So Iran won't swear it off forever, but it will agree that for a certain period of time, perhaps 10 years, 12 years, they're still negotiating over the exact duration, but Iran would swear it off for a limited amount of time.
And so that is a compromise between the original positions of the two sides.
So on that issue, yes, they have made progress.
On other issues, there are still very big gaps, the biggest of which is Iran's stockpile of more than 400 kilograms of highly enriched uranium near weapons grade uranium.
America has been insisting for more than a year that Iran needs to export that ship outside the country to be disposed of.
Iran says we won't do that.
We will dilute it to a lower level of purity inside the country, but we will not send this to a third party.
And that has been a real sticking point in their talks over the past couple of months.
Now, Trump the other day on social media.
seemed to suggest that he was willing to compromise on that.
