US-Iran talks via Qatar stall as neither side yields

US-mediated talks between Washington and Tehran via Qatari intermediaries have stalled this week, with neither side willing to make concessions, according to Axios. The lack of progress could prompt both parties to resume military actions, sources said, noting President Donald Trump may order renewed operations after November's midterm elections. Qatari officials remain committed to mediation but are frustrated. On September 28, they discussed a compromise proposal involving lifting the blockade on Iran and Tehran's nuclear concessions, with Vice President JD Vance present, yet no significant headway was made.
