The United States and Iran remain far apart on key issues, with no breakthrough expected soon. According to Bloomberg Economics analysts Becca Wasser and Dina Esfandiary, intermittent strikes and ongoing negotiations will likely define the conflict for the near future.
Technical discussions about Iran’s nuclear program have been a positive step. However, major disputes over the Strait of Hormuz, sanctions, and how to implement a memorandum of understanding continue to block progress. The analysts say these hurdles remain significant, keeping a final deal out of reach.
