The departure does not necessarily signal the collapse of diplomacy, according to an official briefed on the talks, who said it was not caused by difficulties in negotiations. Iran’s foreign ministry says the discussions are based on a seven-step plan proposed in September, with Tehran now seeking a faster implementation timeline. The talks carry global significance because any failure could prolong direct U.S.-Iran hostilities, threaten shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and intensify regional military and energy-market risks.
