US-Iran conflict: What stands in the way of a negotiated settlement?

The US is intensifying pressure on Iran, launching Task Force Iron Gate to restrict the movement of weapons and sanctioned goods across Iranian borders, adding to its ongoing naval blockade. Meanwhile, Qatar is stepping up diplomatic efforts to bring Washington and Tehran closer to an agreement. With Democrats set to take control of the US Congress and Israel facing political uncertainty following inconclusive elections, could the shifting political landscape change the course of the conflict? And what hurdles stand in the way of both sides reaching a negotiated settlement?

Joining this episode of Dialogue are Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi from the University of Tehran; Anton Fedyashin, an associate professor at American University; and Wang Jin, a professor at Northwest University of China.
