The third round of talks between the US and Iran have ended without a deal to avert American military intervention.
The negotiations, conducted indirectly through Swiss and Omani mediators in Geneva, did, though, make "significant" progress towards an agreement, according to the Omani Foreign Ministry.
US officials described the meetings as "positive", while Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Aragchi, told state media that they "made very good progress and entered into the elements of an agreement very seriously".
He specified that these "elements" included the Islamic Republic's nuclear programme and the US sanctions against his country.
A fourth set of talks has now been scheduled for next week, with Aragchi confirming Iran would also hold discussions with the IAEA, the UN's atomic watchdog, on Monday.
According to Channel 12, the Iranians offered to cease all nuclear enrichment for a period of several years and subsequently limit it to projects for medical purposes only.
The US, though, is reportedly demanding that those restrictions on nuclear activity last indefinitely.
However, no mention was made of the US' other red lines: Iran's development of ballistic missiles and support for terror proxies in the Middle East.
President Trump claimed in his State of the Union address to Congress on Tuesday that Iran is in the process of building conventional missiles with a large enough range to reach American shores.
Iran has dismissed this claim as “misinformation” and said it is not willing to discuss any limits on missile development, creating a potential impasse in the negotiations.
As the talks continue, the USS Gerald R Ford, the world's largest aircraft carrier, remains stationed in the Mediterranean, within striking distance of Iran.
And, according to The Sun, Israeli officials now believe that a US strike on Iran is "inevitable", given the regime's refusal to shut down nuclear enrichment and pull its support for Hamas and Hezbollah.
