The advisory after the conclusion of the initial round of technical talks as part of the MoU aimed at ending the hostilities in West Asia between the US and Iran, with both sides agreeing to establish a High-Level Committee and a roadmap towards a final agreement within 60 days.
Despite the visible acceleration of diplomatic efforts, foundational disagreements persist, most notably over international verification access, the long-term maritime administration of the Strait of Hormuz, and the repatriation of frozen Iranian financial reserves. (ANI)
