Asharq reports US effort to resume talks amid pressure and obstacles

In a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency on Oct. 26, the Saudi Foreign Ministry said the Defense Minister’s Tehran visit with representatives of the Makkah Joint Defense Agreement was part of efforts to reduce escalation, encourage dialogue and diplomatic solutions, and support mediation by Qatar and Pakistan. Asharq News reported on Nov. 12 that the US administration was pursuing diplomacy while continuing economic and maritime restrictions on Iran. Its report said efforts to resume talks faced obstacles because Washington rejected Iranian conditions; it also described neighboring countries’ reservations, citing economic and security concerns, about efforts to restrict land routes. The report did not establish that talks had resumed or an agreement had been reached.
