Talks between Iran and the United States have stalled after two rounds failed to resolve disputes over uranium enrichment, missiles and sanctions relief
Iran and the United States are moving closer to military confrontation as diplomatic efforts over Tehran’s nuclear program stall and Washington expands its military presence in the Middle East, according to officials and diplomats cited by Reuters.
Officials from Iran, the United States, Gulf countries, Europe and Israel told Reuters that expectations for a negotiated settlement are fading, with regional actors now viewing conflict as more likely than compromise.
Israeli officials said they believe the gaps between Washington and Tehran are unbridgeable and that the likelihood of near-term escalation is high.
