Executive Briefing

According to reporting by CBS News US Politics, Qatari mediators return to Tehran to push for a U.S.-Iran deal as Trump acknowledges outreach, but keeps his threats on the table.

Detailed Factual Report

A source familiar with the ongoing diplomacy confirmed to CBS News that Qatari mediators were in Tehran on Friday to convey the latest edits to a draft proposal to end the U.S. war with Iran.

A draft was presented by Qatari mediators last Sunday, and a response from Iran is expected by the weekend. The aim of the proposal is to avert a return to U.S. military action against Iran, which President Trump has threatened multiple times in recent weeks.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Friday that two oil tankers had been halted after unspecified "incidents" as they attempted to transit what Tehran considers an unauthorized route through the Strait of Hormuz.

"Two offending oil tankers, one in the eastern part and the other in the western part of the Strait of Hormuz, which were attempting to pass through the unauthorized route, encountered incidents and were brought to a halt in the waters south of the strait," the IRGC said in a statement.
