Iran and the United States warn that tensions could rise as technical talks stall between the two sides. An Iranian official says the technical discussions are effectively on hold, citing concerns about whether both countries are meeting the terms of an interim agreement. According to the report, each side accuses the other of not adhering to the interim deal, contributing to the breakdown or pause in progress. The situation is portrayed as a stalemate in which technical negotiations do not resume despite prior efforts to manage disputes through an interim framework. The reports also highlight the mutual nature of the accusations, with Washington and Tehran pointing to alleged non-compliance as the reason talks are not advancing. As the standoff continues, both sides indicate that the lack of forward movement increases the risk of escalation, though the articles do not specify the next concrete steps or timelines. The dispute centers on compliance with the interim agreement and the impact this has on ongoing technical engagement.
