Differences ​over ‌Iran's nuclear programme ​still remain, a senior ‌Iranian source told Reuters on Monday, as Iran and ‌the United States try ‌to reach a lasting peace with the two-week ceasefire ⁠ending ​soon.

The ⁠senior Iranian source said that ⁠Tehran's "defenSive capabilities", including its missile ​programme, are not open ⁠to negotiation with the United ⁠States.

"Continuation ​of the U.S. blockade on the ⁠Strait of Hormuz undermines the ⁠peace ⁠talks," the source sad. (Writing by Parisa ‌Hafezi; ‌Editing by Toby ​Chopra)
