Corroborated · Tehran, Iran · 2026-10-30 04:30 UTC

Several outlets report that a Qatari delegation, described as mediators, arrived in or returned to Tehran on Friday for talks on a US-Iran deal, with some reports describing the aim as reviving a ceasefire. IRNA says the delegation is headed by a senior adviser to Qatar's prime minister and foreign minister, and Reuters, citing an official, says the mediation is coordinated with the United States. Axios, citing a diplomatic source, reports talks continuing in Doha on Saturday.

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.
