US-Iran talks have made progress, but 'gaps' remain, Tehran's chief negotiator says
Iran's parliament speaker and chief peace negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said talks with the United States have made progress, but "many gaps and some fundamental points remain."
Speaking on Iranian state TV in a long address that ran for about an hour, covering the recent talks in Islamabad, Ghalibaf said the two sides had reached agreement on some matters, while others remain unresolved, with new proposals still under discussion.

He said both sides have "one or two" core issues that are non-negotiable, adding that "the distance to a final agreement remains considerable."
Ghalibaf stressed that the United States must take steps to build trust with the Iranian public, calling it "the most important step" in the process.
