The dialogue aimed at addressing nuclear proliferation concerns, economic sanctions, and regional security has faltered, largely due to deep-seated mistrust and conflicting priorities. Key issues, including Iran&#8217;s nuclear ambitions and its support for proxy groups in the Middle East, remain unresolved. <\/p>\n<p>As the talks stall, the risks of military confrontation escalate.
