⚡️🇺🇸🇶🇦🇮🇷 — Qatari-led efforts to broker a diplomatic breakthrough between Washington and Tehran have stalled with no significant progress due to mutual inflexibility, according to three sources familiar with the talks. Mediators report growing frustration, warning that the impasse reinforces the assessment that renewed military conflict is increasingly likely. — Axios

➡️ In New York, Qatari mediator Ali al-Thawadi discussed a two-page compromise proposal with Iranian FM Abbas Araghchi to balance Iran’s demand for lifting the U.S. naval blockade against U.S. nuclear concessions. Regional mediators—including Pakistan and Egypt—urged Tehran to concede, but sources state Iran will only consider concessions after a U.S. return to the June MoU.

➡️ In Washington, al-Thawadi met with Trump envoy Jared Kushner and U.S. officials, with VP Vance partially attending. A source reported no significant movement, stating:

«It is stuck. The Iranians are asking for things the U.S. can't accept and the U.S. thinks it is winning so there is no need for compromise.»

Concurrently, U.S. officials assess that President Trump could order a return to major combat operations following the midterm elections.
