  "summary": "Qatari mediators have been engaged in marathon talks in Tehran to restart direct negotiations between the United States and Iran, with the aim of preventing a possible military conflict after the US midterm elections. The talks, which continue on Sunday in Doha, Qatar, come as regional powers seek a diplomatic breakthrough, with fears that a military operation could trigger retaliation against Israel and several Gulf nations. Qatar is encouraging both sides to adopt reciprocal confidence-building measures, while the US administration is reportedly seeking Iranian nuclear concessions before resuming negotiations.",
