Qatar is trying to resolve the 'dispute' between Iran and U.S.

It's very simple. Iran has stated for years that it won't negotiate on missiles. Last minute, the U.S. included that demand. Iran refused.

— The situation as of now:

America has dropped 2 of its 3 main demands; limitations on the ballistic missile program, and stopping Iran's funding to regional groups (Hezbollah, Houthis etc.)

The Americans have also agreed, despite saying they wouldn't, to move the meeting location to Oman at Iran's request—where purely the nuclear program will be discussed.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 U.S. Vice President, J.D. Vance: 'Iran is a very difficult country to conduct diplomacy with, because it's the only country in the world whose leader refuses to talk to the United States. Trump can pick up the phone and talk to Putin, he can pick up the phone and call Xi or Kim Jong Un—countries we have very hostile relations with. But we can't talk to the leader of Iran, it's bizarre'
