Iran War Talks Stall After US Midterms, Trump Calls Conflict Resumption 'Very Improbable'

Negotiations to end the Iran war have stalled following Donald Trump's defeat in the US midterm elections, according to Iran's foreign minister, who cited the resulting political shock as the cause. Abbas Araghchi stated on state television that mediator movements have ceased since the elections, saying "it will take time before the atmosphere is favorable" for resuming diplomatic efforts. He urged patience during this period of adjustment. Trump told CNN he considers a resumption of war "very improbable" if progress continues in negotiations, emphasizing that the outcome depends on whether Iran signs "a very solid agreement."
