Latest political-military developments in the Iran-US war Diplomatic efforts to end the Iran-US war have entered a new phase. The Qatari Foreign Minister met with Pezzekian, Ghalibaf, Rezaei and Araghchi during a trip to Tehran and discussed reducing tensions, resuming talks and establishing a temporary shipping lane in the Strait of Hormuz. Pakistan has also emphasized its continued mediation. However, Washington says that there are currently no negotiations with Tehran and that it has no plans to resume talks. The Strait of Hormuz remains the most important security and economic node in the war. Maritime traffic data indicates a decrease in ship traffic, and reports of projectiles hitting several oil tankers and doubts about the completeness of the mine clearance operation have added to the risks of shipping. Iran also considers a return to the pre-war situation conditional on changing conditions and fulfilling the other side's obligations. At the same time, the costs of the war for the United States have increased. Reports indicate a sharp decline in Patriot and other munitions, financial pressure on the Navy, the agricultural sector and inflation in the United States, and concerns about the impact of the war on America's readiness against China. In the energy sector, US diesel reserves have also reached their lowest seasonal level since the early 1980s, while China continues to buy about 1.2 million barrels of oil from Iran daily.

Live: No sign of opportunity for renewed dialogue between US, Iran
The Prime Minister of Qatar, mediator between Washington and Tehran, held talks with the Iranian Foreign Minister.
Pakistan's Foreign Ministry: The speculation that Asim Munir traveled to Tehran as Trump's envoy is incorrect The economic war against Iran is part of the stalemate between Tehran and Washington that must be resolved through diplomacy We are not aware of any specific country's desire to join Iran in the "Mecca Agreement" We are not subject to unilateral sanctions against Tehran / Entebbe
Al Jazeera Analysis: We are still in the "mutual conditions" phase between Iran and the US A platform for direct interaction between the parties is needed to pave the way for a "real exchange" The issue requires a "bargaining of concessions for achievements"; otherwise, the experiences of Islamabad, Switzerland, and Doha may be repeated. @IRIBNEWS_COM
White House Deputy Spokesperson Anna Kelly told Al-Sharq on Wednesday that no negotiations or talks with the Islamic Republic are underway or planned. She made the remarks in response to a question about the US government's message to Tehran conveyed by the Qatari Prime Minister. US President Donald Trump also announced an hour ago in an interview with Al Jazeera that there is no specific timetable for resuming talks with the Islamic Republic and that he is in no hurry to do so. Trump said: "Both US military strikes and economic pressure against the Islamic Republic are effective." He added that the US has achieved a great victory in the war and that Iran's economy is collapsing.
Journalist Abdul Rahman Hayat: Pakistan's moves came in response to demands from America and Iran... and preparations are underway for a direct meeting between the two sides.

Qatar Mediates Resumption of U.S.-Iran Dialogue… ‘Normalization of Hormuz Top Priority’
Live: Pakistan won’t convince Iran to ‘break current standoff’ with US
Majid Al-Ansari, spokesman for the Qatari Foreign Ministry, said on Tuesday, September 23, regarding the new US economic sanctions against the Islamic Republic, that Doha adheres to the framework of international sanctions and cooperates with the measures taken within this framework.
He added that these sanctions do not directly affect Qatar and that countries decide on them based on their sovereign decisions and in light of regional developments.
Al-Ansari emphasized that Qatar does not take sides in this crisis and supports negotiations and diplomatic solutions. He called Doha's priority the return of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz to normal conditions, ensuring global energy and food security, and maintaining supply chains, and said that these goals can only be achieved through a comprehensive and diplomatic solution.
According to him, Qatar will continue regional contacts with various parties to return the US and the Islamic Republic to the path of negotiations.
Ali K's claim. Pakistani journalist Chishti: The US proposal has been conveyed to Iran through General Asim Munir, the commander of the Pakistani army. Washington has proposed that in exchange for the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to attacks by Iranian proxy forces, the blockade and sanctions against Iran be lifted. Munir has met with Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council. The meeting has been described as "transparent and decisive." Munir called for an end to the attacks by proxy forces and a return to the June understanding between the US and Iran, saying that both sides played a role in breaking previous understandings. Iran has welcomed the proposal. Technical negotiations are currently underway and a statement in this regard is expected to be issued soon by both the US and Iran. Pakistan is playing the role of a mediator and trying to It is for peace. / Choice
Pakistan mediates between Iran and the US to halt the military escalation. The Pakistani army chief arrives in Tehran this Monday. Trump imposes new sanctions and Iran threatens to close the Strait of Hormuz. #teleSUR #Iran #USA #Aug24 What do you think of the Pakistani mediation? Share your analysis in the comments.
Reuters, citing a Pakistani source: Washington asked Asim Munir to use Pakistan's influence to bring #Iran back to the negotiating table.
Between mediators' efforts to revive talks and US sanctions on Iran, will the economic war destroy the chances of reaching an agreement between Washington and Tehran?
Pakistan army chief will arrive in Iran in the coming days in attempt to renew the talks with the US
With new U.S. sanctions coming, one of Iran’s chief negotiator claims they’ve “received numerous messages from neighboring countries about shaping new security arrangements and economic cooperation in the region.” • • But the UAE just cut off all trade w/ Iran, because it’s bombing its neighbors. Security convos would be key.
Trump digs in amid signs of stalled Iran-Oman talks
What did the UAE sacrifice in its new game with Iran? The UAE announced the suspension of trade and financial exchanges with Tehran after Iran allegedly fired two ballistic missiles; Iranian officials denied any action against the UAE. This claim was made without providing credible evidence, while Abu Dhabi has not yet provided a clear explanation about its role in recent developments in the region and the consequences of the Manama meeting. Contacts between Emirati officials and Marco Rubio and Trump's conversation with Mohammed bin Zayed prior to these claims, along with reports about the June meeting, have raised questions about the context of these positions. Abu Dhabi's security cooperation with the United States and the Zionist regime and its role in regional cases, in the current sensitive circumstances, could entail greater political and security costs for the UAE. The fact that these movements coincide with the positions of some countries in the region raises the possibility of an attempt to open erosive fronts against Iran; Tehran also considers its criterion to be the actual performance of countries, not statements.

A source close to the negotiating team denied the White House's claim Following the White House's claim that negotiations with Iran have been canceled until further notice, an informed source close to the negotiating team told Fars: "Basically, there have been no direct negotiations between Iran and the United States." Talks to exercise sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz were held with Oman. After the US violated the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, talks with the American side were suspended, and the recent talks with the Omani side had no connection to the US. @Farsna - Link

Sources: The UAE's hostile statement regarding the cessation of all trade and financial transactions with Iran, an unprecedented and surprising move, along with the positions taken today by Trump and other US officials concerning the Strait of Hormuz and the suspension of negotiations, must be assessed within the framework of a coherent and unified strategy. The objective of this strategy appears to be to increase economic pressure, restrict financial resources, and, in the next phase, escalate military and security pressure on Iran. The synchronization of these actions suggests the formation of a new cycle of economic and military pressure and siege against Iran.
Following the Islamic Republic's missile attack, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement announcing that all trade, commerce and financial transactions with Iran have been suspended until further notice. Afra Al Hameli, Director of the Strategic Communications Department of the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in the statement denied reports about the continuation of economic relations between the UAE and the Islamic Republic. Emphasizing the UAE's commitment to dialogue, cooperation and regional integration as tools to maintain peace, stability and prosperity, Al Hameli said that due to the escalation of regional tensions that have undermined regional and international security, all trade, commerce and financial transactions with Iran have been suspended until further notice. He added that the UAE remains committed to protecting the integrity of the international financial system, within the framework of international law and the highest global standards.

White House: Talks with Iran canceled until further notice Semaphore reporter Shelby Talcott tweeted: A White House official said Trump's new post on Truth Social means talks with Iran are canceled until further notice. Trump says there are "no ongoing or planned talks or negotiations" with Iran.
Iran launched a ballistic missile at the UAE, amid stalled negotiations with the US... This may be the first attack in about three months.
No US negotiations with Iran; Pakistan is working to keep back channels of diplomacy open. Al-Hadath correspondents Rita Suleiman and Abdullah Khalouf report the details and developments:
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a phone call with US President Donald Trump that continuing talks with Iran is important for the benefit of diplomacy and that Turkey is ready to participate in this regard. The Turkish presidency announced that in this phone call, Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed Ankara's readiness to support peace efforts. Previously, Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump's envoy, had said that the talks between Iran and the US were serious and intensive, but the two sides had not yet reached an understanding. Mr. Kushner, who is also Donald Trump's son-in-law, told Fox News that the talks between the US and various Iranian government institutions were probably stronger than ever, but the two sides had not yet reached a final result.

What is this event about?
On June 22, the first round of U.S.-Iran diplomatic talks in Switzerland concluded, with mediators reporting progress toward a roadmap for a final deal and follow-on technical talks expected to continue (see: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/6/22/us-iran-agree-on-roadmap-towards-final-deal-in-switzerland-talks).
This market will resolve according to the country in which the next formal senior-level round of peace talks between representatives of the United States and Iran begins by September 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET.
A qualifying round must be a deliberate in-person diplomatic meeting or negotiating round concerning US-Iran relations, involving senior representatives of both the United States and Iran who are acting in an official capacity and are authorized to conduct or materially direct diplomacy on behalf of their governments.
Indirect in-person diplomacy through designated mediators, facilitators, or interlocutors will qualify, provided senior representatives of both the United States and Iran are participating in the same formal diplomatic process with the knowledge and authorization of their respective governments. The representatives need not be in the same room at the same time.
Follow-on technical talks from the June 22 Switzerland round will not qualify by themselves. Technical, staff-level, working-group, implementation, monitoring, preparatory, or deconfliction meetings will not qualify unless they occur as part of a new formally convened senior-level U.S.-Iran peace-talks round.
Brief greetings, chance encounters, photo opportunities, ceremonial appearances, or talks not deliberately aimed at diplomacy or negotiation will not count.
The meeting must be in-person (including indirect in-person meetings) and must be publicly acknowledged by either government or reported by a consensus of credible media. Remote meetings, phone calls, or other meetings where the relevant parties are not present will not count.
If a qualifying round occurs in more than one country, resolution will be based on the country where the first qualifying senior-level diplomatic session begins.
If the next qualifying round begins in any country in the Middle East or North Africa other than the listed options, this market will resolve to “Other - Middle East/North Africa.”
If the next qualifying round begins in any country in Europe other than the listed options, this market will resolve to “Other - Europe.”
For purposes of this market, countries’ regions will be determined based on the U.S. State Department’s regional classifications in the “Countries and Areas List” (https://www.state.gov/countries-and-areas-list). Any country classified as part of “Europe and Eurasia” will be considered to be in Europe. Any country classified as part of “Near East (Middle East and North Africa)” will be considered to be in the Middle East/North Africa.
If the next qualifying round begins in any unlisted country that is not classified in either specified region, this market will resolve to “Other.”
If no qualifying round begins by September 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “No Meeting by September 30.”
The resolution sources for this market will be official information from the governments of the United States and Iran, and a consensus of credible reporting.
