Iranian Delegation Continues Talks in Doha Amid US Tensions

Diplomatic efforts continue in Doha for the third consecutive day with an Iranian delegation present amid escalating tensions and mutual threats between Iran and the United States, alongside expectations of possible renewed U.S. strikes on Iranian sites. An informed source confirmed that the Iranian delegation is meeting with Qatari mediators in an effort to reach an agreement aimed at ending the conflict with the United States. Meanwhile, Iran warned that any future conflict with the U.S. could last longer than the previous one, noting that the American president will not be the decision-maker in determining its conclusion. Iranian Army spokesperson Mohammad Akrami Nia stated that any upcoming war might be prolonged and that the U.S. president would not have the authority to impose its timing or conditions. The U.S. president threatened on Saturday evening to launch new, swift strikes targeting specific sites, noting that the U.S. has destroyed a significant portion of Iran's military capabilities but still needs to address one or two targets. He indicated that negotiations with the Iranian side are progressing well despite a lack of full trust in the Iranian party. He affirmed that there is no rush to take offensive action, highlighting the substantial damage inflicted on Iran's military and nuclear program. He mentioned specific locations such as "Mount Axe" in Isfahan province as potential targets. Reports and analysts have pointed to the possibility of a short and intense military campaign following the upcoming U.S. midterm elections scheduled for November 3rd.
