A Middle East Observer post reports a Qatari delegation returned to Doha after a day of talks and that talks will resume Saturday. The Pakistani military says, after the Tehran talks, that it is cautiously optimistic about US-Iran mediation, according to a Times of Israel report.

Details by origin

Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
