Rubio hints at progress, but the other side emphasizes that disagreements still remain; both sides are performing for their respective audiences, and the real game will begin after the memorandum is delivered to Washington.

The U.S. side claims Rubio has stated there has been progress in Iran negotiations, and there may be news in the coming days. Iran's spokesperson said that the Pakistani mediator's visit to Iran aims to facilitate information exchange between the U.S. and Iran, with multiple rounds of negotiations on the proposal but significant disagreements remain. Iran and the mediator have reached a memorandum of understanding, pending U.S. response. The proposal includes ending the war, lifting sanctions, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and withdrawing U.S. troops; the nuclear issue is not currently discussed and will be revisited in about 30 days, with Iran indicating limited further concessions.
