- Qatar announced that drafts of a potential US-Iran agreement are "being circulated," with mediators reporting progress in efforts to halt the Iran war, per CNN.
- An Iranian MP said mediators are working to revive a Memorandum of Understanding with Washington, while AP reports drone attacks continue to rattle the region.
Why it matters: Qatar emerges as the lead public mediator in the US-Iran process, while an Iranian MP's acknowledgment of MOU revival talks suggests Tehran has opened a diplomatic channel beyond the current war footing. Mediators reporting progress while drone attacks continue shows the diplomatic and military tracks are running in parallel.
