Iran is seeking to conclude arrangements to end ongoing hostilities before any formal announcement of a nuclear agreement, according to the Washington Post, citing a Pakistani official.
The report says Tehran is pushing for a sequence in which a cessation of conflict is secured first, followed by public disclosure of a broader nuclear understanding.
The Washington Post also reports that Washington prefers to bundle all related understandings into a single announcement, rather than separating the military and nuclear tracks.
This difference in sequencing has emerged as a key point of friction in ongoing diplomatic efforts.
Citing defense officials, the newspaper adds that the Pentagon has maintained a significant naval deployment in the region throughout the ceasefire period.
