Indirect diplomatic talks between the US and Iran are ongoing, but a comprehensive agreement, including a ceasefire, is assessed as unlikely before the US midterm elections. This assessment, originating from Iranian sources and corroborated by mediator reports, indicates a deferral of major concessions and a potential prolongation of current conflict dynamics. The continuation of talks, despite low expectations for immediate breakthroughs, maintains a diplomatic channel.
