The US-Iran negotiations held in Islamabad have contributed to creating positive momentum that can be built upon in the next phase, US officials said in a report from The Atlantic.
Regardless of how they turned out, the officials explained that these talks formed an important framework that allows for continued negotiations in the future and opens the door to greater rapprochement between the parties involved.
The report indicated that talks with Tehran had made significant progress, particularly regarding its abandonment of its nuclear ambitions, which officials described as an important step towards easing tensions.
Intelligence reports also suggested that mounting economic pressures, primarily declining oil revenues, might prompt Iran to reconsider its positions, potentially opening the door to diplomatic solutions in the near future.
