US and Iran Are Still Talking, But the Ceasefire Is Hanging by a Thread
The Hindu·Saturday, 11 July 2026
Qatar is mediating between the US and Iran after both sides traded military strikes this week. Iran attacked US military infrastructure in Gulf states on July 9, following US strikes on Iran's southern and eastern provinces. Trump said Iran has asked to continue talks and the US agreed, even as he acknowledged the ceasefire may be 'over'.
