The New York Times reports the main sticking points in US-Iran nuclear negotiations: enrichment duration (Iran wants 10 years, the US insists on 15); dismantlement of nuclear facilities (the US demands the closure of Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan, while Iran is willing to shutter only two of the three); full dilution of all enriched uranium (US agrees to on-site dilution under American supervision, Tehran's position unclear); and US demand for snap inspections, which Iran resists partly because some nuclear sites are inside IRGC bases.
