WSJ: Mediation believes that there has been almost no progress in the US Iran negotiations, and Iran insists on keeping its core demands unchanged BlockBeats reported on May 20th that according to WSJ citing regional mediators and US officials familiar with the relevant terms, Iran's position in negotiations with the US to end the war has not changed significantly compared to previous rounds of unsuccessful plans, which has raised questions about whether an "exit" to the conflict can be found. The mediator pointed out that Iran still insists on its core demands, including ending hostilities, obtaining economic relief, compensating for war losses, and playing a supervisory role in the strategic waterway of the Strait of Hormuz. In addition, there are still significant differences with the United States on the issue of its demand for the closure or long-term suspension of its nuclear program. According to regional sources, the United States and Israel have been preparing for a new round of strikes against Iran in the coming days, with some even suggesting that an attack could be launched as early as next week.
