The United States and Iran have made no progress in negotiating an interim peace deal, Reuters reported on Wednesday. Efforts to establish a temporary resolution to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East remain stalled.

According to Reuters, the two nations continue to be deeply divided over attempts to secure a permanent end to the war. These diplomatic negotiations have yet to yield any breakthrough or compromise.

This deadlock adds uncertainty to geopolitical stability, which could influence risk sentiment across global markets, including Japan’s FX and equities sectors.
