Iranian Negotiators in Doha Seek Deal to End US-Iran War

Iranian negotiators held a third day of talks in Doha on Sunday with Qatari mediators to seek a deal ending the US-Israeli war on Iran, an official said. The discussions occur amid fears of renewed escalation after the November 3 US midterm elections. President Donald Trump stated the US will not launch new attacks before the vote and called talks productive, but has not ruled out action afterward. Iran has threatened to strike US and Israeli targets in neighboring countries if attacked, as the eight-month conflict disrupts global oil supplies. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei ordered armed forces to prepare for any attacks, and the military announced readiness improvements. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Trump has not decided on new strikes, preferring diplomacy. Qatari mediators moved talks from Tehran to Doha, coordinating regularly with Washington.
