"The new event cites major differences in US negotiations, which is contextually linked to the US assessment in Event 13 regarding Iran's retained military capabilities. The persistence of Iran's drone arsenal (Event 13) is a likely substantive cause for the 'significant disagreements' mentioned in the new event, as it undermines US leverage in talks."
