Regional officials indicated that mediators from Qatar and Pakistan are facilitating discussions to restore an interim ceasefire agreement that had previously collapsed. Despite this progress, drone attacks attributed to Iran-backed militias continue to pose challenges, with Saudi Arabia intercepting drones targeting its oil facilities. U.S. President Donald Trump noted Iran’s interest in further discussions, although Iran’s Foreign Ministry denied any direct negotiations are currently taking place. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing concerns regarding the security of maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.
