The latest talks produced no next-step agreement amid incompatible demands, so another senior-level US-Iran meeting by October 31 is a meaningful underdog.

The September talks produced no agreed next steps, and the parties remain divided over whether US pressure relief or Iranian concessions must come first. Trump’s rejection of Iran’s proposal and Tehran’s insistence on its conditions make rapid scheduling difficult.
