Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency says the final decision on the framework of an agreement with the United States is still being reviewed, according to a report cited by the N12 chat. The update adds another layer of conflicting signals emanating from Tehran over the status of the talks.
Fars News Agency, an Iranian semi-official outlet, reported Thursday morning that the final decision on the framework for a potential agreement with the United States remains under review in Tehran. The report, cited by the N12 chat, adds to a week of conflicting signals from Iranian officials and state-aligned media over the status of the talks.
As The Zioneer has reported over the past three days, Iranian sources have sent contradictory messages: earlier this week Fars itself reported Tehran was leaning toward approval, while Iran's semi-official Tasnim agency said the chance of a final nuclear deal was very low. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman stated Thursday evening that the final review of the agreement text was underway but that the timing and place for signing could not be determined until a decision is made.
This latest Fars report does not specify which framework terms remain under debate or when a decision might come. The pattern of conflicting signals — from multiple Iranian channels simultaneously — makes it difficult to assess the true status of the talks. The security cabinet convened Thursday evening to discuss remaining gaps in the emerging deal, according to Channel 15.
What remains unclear: whether the Fars report reflects a genuine deadlock in Tehran's internal discussions or is itself part of the deliberate ambiguity Iran has maintained throughout the negotiation process.
