Iran said on Nov. 3 that there has been no new progress in talks with the United States, according to a report cited by China Central Television and carried by ChainCatcher. Iranian officials also delivered a hard-line message on the broader situation, saying Iran would "never surrender" and that the Strait of Hormuz would only be reopened after Washington gives a complete and explicit response to seven conditions raised by Tehran and puts them into effect. Iran also said it is prepared for combat and remains at the highest level of defense readiness. Qatar said the same day that Iran and the U.S. are studying a proposal put forward by mediators and that both sides are still willing to continue negotiations, though differences remain unresolved and there is no concrete progress to announce at this stage. A person familiar with the matter said Qatari mediators are expected to receive feedback from both Washington and Tehran on a new proposal within the next 36 hours. U.S. President Donald Trump also said he does not rule out military action against Iran after the midterm elections.
