The report stated that both sides \u201cstruggled to reach an agreement, but no meaningful advancement was made.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oman&#8217;s Foreign Minister, Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi, confirmed that the talks ended \u201cwith some but not decisive progress,\u201d expressing hope that the remaining issues will soon be clarified.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No Deal Before Summer<\/strong><br \/>\nThe main point of contention in the negotiations is Iran\u2019s uranium enrichment program.

It\u2019s a technical process that allows uranium to be used either for civilian energy or, at higher levels, for weapons. When Iran enriches uranium to 60%, it approaches weapons-grade levels required to build a nuclear bomb. The United States sees this as a serious threat and demands a complete cessation of high-level enrichment. Iran, however, claims it has the right to develop this technology and refuses to give it up. Without consensus on this point, progress toward an agreement remains highly unlikely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fifth round of negotiations between Iran and the United States ended without a breakthrough, as even mediators struggle to narrow the gaps between the sides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":24265,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,6,65],"tags":[5710,1539,3977,3078,2856,5997,5998,2396,4133,5999],"class_list":["post-24263","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","category-security","category-world","tag-international-mediation","tag-iran","tag-middle-east-diplomacy","tag-negotiations","tag-nuclear-deal","tag-nuclear-sites","tag-rome-talks","tag-united-states","tag-uranium-enrichment","tag-uranium-stockpile"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.7 (Yoast SEO v24.7) -
