Nothing official yet from US-Iran talks, but Iranian media hints at sticking points

It’s past midnight in Islamabad, and there’s nothing yet in the way of official statements or press briefings from the talks between US and Iranian negotiators in Pakistan. The little that’s leaked out from the Iranian side has hinted at some of the sticking points.

A source close to Tehran’s negotiating team told CNN today that the US has made “unacceptable demands” over the Strait of Hormuz and several other issues.

The tenor of Iranian media’s reporting is similar. Semi-official news outlet Mehr reports that the US has made “excessive demands” on its Iranian interlocutors.
