A Pakistani source involved in mediating between the U.S. and Iran told Reuters that there was progress in backdoor diplomacy and that an upcoming meeting between the two sides could result in the signing of an agreement.
The two sides would first sign a memorandum of understanding followed by a comprehensive agreement within 60 days, the source said.
"Detailed agreement comes later. Both sides are agreeing in principle. And technical bits come later," the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
A diplomatic source said the key Pakistani mediator, army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, had been holding talks in Tehran since Wednesday and had made a breakthrough on "sticky issues".
