In the previous round of talks, there was a brief direct meeting between the envoys and Araghchi.

Iran insists that the talks will only focus on the nuclear issue. It refuses to stop enriching uranium. The United States demands to discuss ballistic missiles as well. It also demands an end to funding terrorist organizations in the Middle East.

The President of the United States, Trump, said today: "Iran wants a deal. It does not want what will happen if there is no deal."

Both sides continue to threaten. Many military forces are arriving in the area.
