What happened

Iran and the US are still far from signing a final peace treaty, but at the same time, the parties have reached agreement on most issues, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said.

Why it matters

"It is true that agreement has been reached on most of the issues under discussion, but no one can argue that this means a ceasefire will be signed soon," the Tasnim news agency quoted him as saying.

Common ground

According to Baghaei, frequent changes in the US position are complicating the negotiation process.
