The Bloomberg news agency reported on Friday, November 6, citing its sources, that the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran may have reached a breakthrough in negotiations aimed at ending the war. According to this report, Iran expressed its desire to discuss some nuclear issues that it had left out of the talks. The issue of Iran's nuclear program was one of the biggest obstacles in the past negotiations; Washington wanted the nuclear program to be part of the peace talks, but Tehran insisted that the issue not be discussed. The United States and Iran have recently continued the mediation and escalation talks through Qatar and other channels.
