Gulf States Mediate After US-Iran Talks Fail

Persian Gulf monarchies are attempting to establish dialogue between the US and Iran following the failure of negotiations, with a 'race for influence over Trump' reportedly underway. Gulf states are also consulting with Washington about extending the fragile two-week ceasefire. The Trump administration has indicated it does not intend to make concessions, with Vice President Vance stating Washington has delivered its 'best final offer' to Tehran and does not intend to revise it.
