TOI correspondent from Washington: The United States and Iran are edging closer to a diplomatic breakthrough, with both sides working to finalize a one-page memorandum that could open the door to longer-term negotiations and end the three-month long global ordeal.
Senior US officials told Axios that a draft document -- a 14-point memorandum of understanding -- is now closer to finalisation than at any point since hostilities began in late February, following a flurry of back-channel contacts and mediated exchanges over the past 12 hours.
