It does seem like diplomacy is a viable option as Bloomberg News reported earlier today that Iran is considering a temporary halt on shipments and maritime activity that could violate the U.S.
blockade.
Our reporting indicates that this reflects a desire by Iran to avoid an immediate escalation at what is considered to be a highly sensitive time as there's this bid to push the talks forward.
Now, we should say sources have cautioned that the decision does remain fluid.
Saying that he has spoken to Vice President J.D.
Vance who led these negotiations and that one of the main points of contention.
is that Iran will not allow the removal of that enriched uranium.
They're still trying to figure out where to go from there, as a U.S.
official does tell Bloomberg News that the U.S.
delegation felt that the Iranian delegation did not see the U.S.
's main objective as being trying to curb its ambitions
when it comes to its nuclear program.
We can point out that in an interview over the weekend, President Trump himself did say that he thinks Iran will come to the negotiating table.
And Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson added that it makes sense that they weren't able to come to an agreement after just one single session.
Just the fact that the negotiations are happening and getting off the ground is considered to be a success at least at this moment after we saw that potential roadblock yesterday over Israel's front in Lebanon.
The thing is there are just still such big differences between the two sides as the vice president here is saying that President Trump has given them clear guidelines.
President Trump has previously outlined that the U.S.
wants to see no Iranian nuclear enrichment in a potential deal.
Just the fact that the negotiations are happening and getting off the ground is considered to be a success, at least at this moment, after we saw that potential roadblock yesterday over Israel's front in Lebanon.
