Talks have repeatedly stalled over core disagreements, including the extent of Iran's uranium enrichment program and the scope of sanctions relief the United States is prepared to offer. Any breakthrough would carry enormous geopolitical weight, given Iran's advancing nuclear capabilities and mounting regional tensions.
