BlockBeats News, May 20th. According to WSJ citing U.S. officials familiar with the discussions and the terms under negotiation, Iran's position in the ongoing talks with the United States to end the war has not significantly changed compared to previous rounds that failed to make progress. This has raised doubts among observers about whether a "way out" of the conflict can be found.

The mediators pointed out that Iran still insists on its core demands, including ending the state of hostility, obtaining economic relief, receiving compensation for the war damages, and playing a supervisory role in the strategic waterway of the Strait of Hormuz. Additionally, there are still significant differences between Iran and the U.S. on the issue of the U.S. demands for Iran to shut down or suspend its nuclear program in the long term.

Regional sources suggest that the U.S. 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.
