Important nuggets and my reaction:
"The U.S. also asked Iran to remove all highly enriched uranium from the country. The Iranians said they would agreed to a 'monitored process of down-blending' it instead." (Good, Iran can't be permitted to retain any enriched uranium.)
"The U.S. proposed that Iran accept a 20-year moratorium on uranium enrichment during negotiations in Islamabad over the weekend, according to a U.S. official and a source with knowledge. (20 years is still a sunset—the term should be permanent ban until further notice.)
The Iranians countered with a shorter 'single digit' period, according to the sources." (A non-starter)
"While no agreement has been reached, the Iranians thought they were close to an initial agreement by Sunday morning and were caught off guard by Vice President Vance's press conference."
"The Iranians were pissed off about that press conference," a source with knowledge said." (Positive, the U.S. isn't tolerating the usual Iranian time-wasting negotiating tactic and is sticking to its red lines—take it or leave it.)
