Iran Claims Major Gains in Overnight Discussions with U.S.

“Iran said there had been ‘major progress’ in all-night discussions with the U.S., as the warring sides try to reach a peace deal within two months,” Bloomberg reports.

“Plenty of obstacles remain, however, including Israel’s war in Lebanon against Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militant group. At one stage on Sunday, Iran said it would suspend talks — but never actually did — after President Donald Trump threatened military action against the Islamic Republic over its funding of proxy groups in the Middle East.”
