Summary
Qatari mediators arrived in Tehran on Friday in what officials described as a last-ditch push, coordinated with Washington, to secure an interim US-Iran deal.
The effort aims to head off renewed US strikes on Iran and further Iranian retaliation across the Persian Gulf, as Gulf states intensify diplomacy to contain escalation.
Donald Trump appeared open both to a deal and to resuming strikes, while Vice President JD Vance and envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner backed an agreement and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth appeared opposed.
The next 2 days will be crucial, an Iranian official said, adding that Washington is seeking a positive breakthrough before the US midterm elections.
