Recent talks between the United States and Iran concluded without a final agreement, though negotiations have not collapsed. Despite extensive diplomatic efforts and multiple rounds of proposals and counterproposals, both sides remain divided on several critical issues. US Vice President JD Vance stated that Washington has presented its “best and final offer” and is awaiting Tehran’s response.

The main sticking points include the US stance on the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran views as a “maximum pressure tactic,” as well as disputes over Iran’s nuclear program, regional influence, and economic matters. Iran has also demanded the release of its frozen assets, making it a central issue in the discussions. Sources indicate that while some progress has been made, it has not reached a decisive stage.

An unconfirmed report suggested a possible understanding involving Israel, under which it might avoid strikes on Beirut while continuing operations in southern Lebanon. Overall, the diplomatic process continues, but uncertainty remains high after the talks ended without a concrete deal.
