A formal senior-level US-Iran meeting is highly unlikely by August 31 because active military escalation confines diplomacy to deniable technical channels.
Active strikes and blockade enforcement politically preclude Iran from convening a formal senior summit, forcing a reliance on technical backchannels to avert broader war.
