- Qatari mediators held talks in Tehran for more than 12 hours on Friday, according to diplomatic sources.
- The proposed deal aimed to restart direct negotiations between the U.S. and Iran.
- Diplomatic sources said the mediated effort sought to avoid an outbreak of war after the midterms.
- The discussions were scheduled to continue in Doha, Qatar, on Saturday.
Why it matters: The immediate change is procedural: after more than 12 hours in Tehran, the U.S.-Iran track remains mediated by Qatar, with another session set for Saturday in Doha. The U.S. and Iran have not reached the reported deal; their stated objectives are direct negotiations and avoiding an outbreak of war after the midterms.
