Axios: Washington-Tehran negotiations through intermediaries have stalled.

Informed regional sources told Axios that Pakistani and Qatari mediators are continuing to shuttle messages between the United States and Iran, but without making any significant progress.

The sources told Axios that Pakistani officials are presenting a more optimistic assessment of the ongoing discussions than the talks warrant. Islamabad is attempting to create the impression of genuine momentum, hoping to break the current deadlock, but the sources maintain that the reality on the ground remains unchanged.

This stalemate comes at a time when Bloomberg has previously described the conflict between the United States and Iran as having transformed into a protracted confrontation with no clear path to resolution.
