Story summary

As of November 1, 2026, Iranian negotiators are in Doha, Qatar, for a third day of indirect talks aimed at ending the ongoing conflict with the United States and Israel. The discussions, facilitated by Qatari mediators, come amid fears that tensions could escalate following the US midterm elections on November 3rd. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the country has set conditions for renewed negotiations, including lifting sanctions imposed after an Islamabad memorandum and reducing US forces in the region.

The talks involve UAE and other Gulf states hoping to avert further conflict but are "braced for the worst" as they await Washington’s response to Iran's proposals. Iranian officials have refused to discuss their nuclear program under any circumstances, complicating diplomatic efforts. The situation remains tense with concerns that military solutions offer no quick resolution to the crisis in the region.
