Journalist Yaron Avraham reports that Iranian officials are denying progress toward a deal, even as negotiations on a US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding accelerate with Qatari and Pakistani mediation in recent hours.
According to journalist Yaron Avraham, Iranian sources deny that the negotiations have made progress, even as he reports an acceleration of efforts in recent hours between the United States and Iran toward signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The talks are being mediated by Qatar and Pakistan. This development comes amid a rapid diplomatic track: as The Zioneer reported at 23:07 Jerusalem, the same journalist described sharply accelerating negotiations for the MOU. Earlier in the evening (21:19 Jerusalem), Avraham had reported that the talks were still ongoing amid complex diplomacy. At the same time, skepticism has been notable — an earlier bulletin on Jun 11 cited conflicting Arabic media reports, and on Jun 13 an Israeli analyst accused the US of misrepresenting the signing process. The Iranian denial reported in this latest message appears to contradict the accelerated negotiations, leaving the precise status of the talks uncertain.
