Iran Talks Show No Progress as Tehran Warns of Preemptive Action

Talks involving Iran showed no progress, with Tehran demanding a return to a memorandum of understanding and its military warning of a possible preemptive operation.

The Iranian position places the memorandum at the center of efforts to move negotiations forward. No details were provided about its terms or the steps Tehran wants taken to restore it.

The military warning added to tensions surrounding the talks. The available information did not identify a potential target, a timeline or the circumstances that could trigger such an operation.

Meanwhile, the U.S. vice president said there was still an opportunity to reach an agreement, conditional on Tehran fulfilling its commitments.

The statements left the diplomatic outlook uncertain, with Washington pointing to a possible deal while Tehran maintained its demand and warned of military action.
