This is the point.
According to a joint statement from Qatar and Pakistan,
the US and Iran have agreed on a roadmap to reaching a final deal within 60 days to facilitate
that a high-level committee, a de-confliction cell, working groups and a line of communication will be established.

And last but not least is the issue of Israel, which has refused to stop striking Lebanon.
How seriously can we take the talks going forward?
Can there really be a deal that can last.
