US and Iran resume talks after June ceasefire collapse

Negotiations have resumed between the conflicting parties, marking the first formal talks since the ceasefire that held until June fell apart. The renewed dialogue comes after several months of sporadic exchanges of fire, during which both sides have continued to clash along contested frontlines.

The intermittent hostilities that followed the ceasefire’s collapse have underscored the fragility of the situation, prompting international observers to call for a swift de‑escalation. As the parties convene, officials emphasize that the talks aim to establish a framework for a sustainable cessation of hostilities, though no timetable for a definitive agreement has been set.
