2026 Iran War: 2026-09-30

CNN reported that during a meeting in the United Arab Emirates, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed that Israel has new intelligence indicating Iran is resuming its nuclear program. Middle East Spectator carried the CNN account.

Axios reported Qatari efforts to broker a new U.S.-Iran agreement have made little progress. Negotiations are stuck over Iran's demand to lift the U.S. naval blockade and Washington's demand for nuclear concessions. Iran says it will only consider nuclear steps after a return to the June memorandum of understanding. Qatar, Pakistan and Egypt continue mediation, according to Middle East Spectator's Axios summary.
