US-Iran Talks End in Stalemate After 21 Hours: Sharp Differences Remain, Timing of Next Round of Talks TBD
BlockBeats News, April 12th: After 21 hours of US-Iran talks, no agreement was reached as irreconcilable differences on nuclear issues persist. A summary of this round of US-Iran talks is as follows:
· Negotiation Process: The negotiation lasted for 21 hours, continuing from Saturday to early Sunday local time. According to Al Jazeera: The two sides held about five rounds of talks, with a written exchange of views after each round. US media reported that the US negotiation team had at least six phone calls with Trump and communicated with multiple US government officials. Iran reported that the two sides discussed various aspects of the main negotiation topics, including the Strait of Hormuz, nuclear issues, war reparations, sanctions relief, and the complete end of wars against Iran and the Middle East region.
· End of Negotiation, US Statement: Sullivan stated that no agreement was reached, highlighting continued significant differences between the two sides. The core reason is Iran's failure to make a clear commitment to abandoning nuclear weapons development. The "final proposal" is now awaiting Iran's response. After a brief four-minute press conference, Sullivan immediately departed for Washington.
· End of Negotiation, Iranian Statement: Iranian media reported that the US was unrealistic and made "excessive demands," hindering the agreement. The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Iran and the US have disagreements on two to three important issues. It is unrealistic to expect an agreement in a single round of talks. According to Iranian media reports, the Iranian delegation has left Pakistan.
· Future Outlook: The timing and location of the next round of negotiations are yet to be determined. The Pakistani Foreign Minister stated that Pakistan will continue to firmly promote US-Iran negotiations, emphasizing that both sides must adhere to the ceasefire commitment. The Iranian Foreign Ministry stated that contacts and consultations between Iran and Pakistan will continue. Sources revealed that Iran is not eager to negotiate with the US again, and as long as the US does not agree to a fair deal, the situation in the Strait of Hormuz will not change.
· Other: Iranian media indicated that some Western media outlets exaggerate the "positive atmosphere" of the negotiations for the purpose of influencing international energy prices. Reports of "intense conflicts in the meeting room" and "handshakes between members of both sides" are entirely Western media hype. (FXStreet)
