Kushner Says US-Iran Talks Are More Robust Than Ever but No Understanding Reached

U.S. special envoy Jared Kushner said conversations between Washington and different parts of the Iranian government are probably more robust than ever, but that the two sides have not yet reached an understanding. He spoke in an interview after nearly four hours of talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Kushner said President Donald Trump does not want to rush and will make the right deal when it is ready. Washington is keeping economic pressure on Tehran, he said, including its blockade of Iranian ports, and a deal is available if Iran gives up its ability to build a nuclear weapon. The remarks followed Monday's lapse of the 60-day memorandum.
