To be fair, nothing is confirmed yet and a lot is up in the air - but recent visits by Robert Malley to Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar, CIA Burns taking a direct interest in negotiations, interest in the EU and UN, and increased activity by the Iran FM these last few days give some indications of a renewed push.
Further, I may be giving too much emphasis on the needed regional stability for the upcoming World Cup, but according to this interesting 2021 Thesis on Quatari investments and "subtle power" the strategy is quite sophisticated and Iran-Qatari relations are often overlooked...
