Washington and Tehran scale back Iran talks as Israel stays outside limited deal effort
Washington and Tehran have scaled back efforts to reach a comprehensive agreement on Iran and are now seeking a more limited pact, according to the supplied report.
The shift comes as the standoff over the frozen Iran war is said to be threatening a global economic meltdown.
The report says the new approach would put off the harder issues rather than settle them immediately.
It also says Israel is not directly involved in the peace effort.
The article says Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu wanted to continue the war and would be reluctant to see Israel's campaign against Hezbollah shaped by a deal between Washington and Tehran.
No further details of the proposed limited pact were given.
The development matters because it suggests a narrower diplomatic track is being pursued at a time when the wider conflict remains unresolved.
It also points to a gap between US-Iran negotiations and Israel's war priorities.
The report is framed from Jerusalem and says the situation is being watched against the backdrop of the frozen Iran war.
