The latest round of nuclear talks between the United States and Iran has ended without a deal, leaving both governments facing an uneasy pause and bracing for what comes next. With diplomacy stalled once again, the risk of a broader conflict now looms over Washington and Tehran.
Officials met in Geneva this week hoping to narrow deep divisions over Iran's nuclear programme. Iran's Foreign Minister and chief nuclear negotiator Abbas Araghchi spoke of 'good progress' during the discussions. But the delegations left without a breakthrough and agreed only to reconvene for a technical meeting in Vienna next week.
