US-Iran talks in Geneva end without a deal
Negotiations between the US and Iran on the nuclear programme ended without reaching an agreement. This was reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Why the parties did not agree
According to the newspaper, the key reason was Tehran's refusal to accept the United States' tough demands.
The Iranian side insists on its right to enrich uranium and does not agree to the transfer of the already accumulated stocks of enriched material.
Instead, Tehran offered less radical alternatives, which, as noted, did not satisfy Washington.
What's next
Despite the absence of a breakthrough, the negotiation process is not being curtailed.
The parties have decided to suspend political consultations, but technical talks are planned to continue in Vienna.
Context.
Negotiations on Iran's nuclear programme remain a key international security issue.
The outcome of these talks will determine the future of the West's sanctions policy towards Iran and stability in the Middle East.
