Iran, US to resume peace talks in Doha after setbacks due to strikes, Strait of Hormuz tensions
The resumption of the negotiations comes after last week's talks in Switzerland between senior officials on both sides, in what mediators described as a "positive and constructive atmosphere."

Last week's positive atmosphere in Switzerland provides a fragile foundation. The key question is whether the new round can translate goodwill into concrete de-escalation steps.
