US Iran Talks Face Persistent Impasse

Bloomberg Economics analysts Becca Wasser and Dina Esfandiary say the US and Iran remain far apart on key issues, with intermittent strikes and negotiations likely to define the conflict for the foreseeable future. They say technical talks on Iran's nuclear program are a constructive step, but disputes over the Strait of Hormuz, sanctions and implementation of the memorandum of understanding continue to hinder progress.
