US and Iran still at odds on key issues, but both sides report signs of progress

The U.S. and Iran stuck to opposing stances on Thursday over Tehran's uranium stockpile and controls on the Strait of Hormuz, although U.S. Secretary of ​State Marco Rubio said there had been "some good signs" in talks.

"There's some good signs," Rubio said. "I don't want to be overly optimistic ... So, let's see what happens over the next few days."
A senior Iranian source told Reuters on Thursday that ​no deal has been reached but that gaps have been narrowed, adding that Iran's uranium enrichment and Tehran's control over the Strait of Hormuz remain among ⁠the sticking points.
