Iranian negotiators in Doha for talks to end US-Israeli war on Iran

Iranian negotiators arrived in Doha on Sunday for a third day of talks with Qatari mediators to seek a deal ending the US-Israeli war on Iran, an official briefed on the discussions said, amid fears of renewed conflict after the November 3 US midterm elections. President Donald Trump has said the US will not launch new attacks on Iran before the vote and called talks productive, though he has not ruled out further military action afterward. Iran has vowed to strike US and Israeli targets in neighboring countries in response to any new attacks, as the eight-month war disrupts global oil supplies. Saturday's talks followed over 12 hours of discussions Friday in Tehran, coordinated with Washington. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei ordered armed forces to prepare for any attacks, while security chief Mohsen Rezaei said Tehran was debating lifting its nuclear weapons ban if hostilities resume. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said talks have never stopped, though gaps remain over competing seven-day plans for trust-building and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
