Barbara Slavin of the Stimson Center describes current US-Iran relations as 'kabuki diplomacy,' pointing to fragile indirect contacts mediated by Qatar. She warns that a combination of military escalation and stalled diplomacy could push the two countries toward a dangerous confrontation, with talks producing little real progress while tensions on the ground continue to rise.

Why now: Ongoing US-Iran tensions and uncertainty over whether mediated talks can prevent further escalation are drawing attention.
