According to Channel 14 Israel, diplomatic efforts continue in Doha, Qatar, amid rising regional tensions and fears of a new round of conflict. An Iranian delegation has been in the Gulf state for the third consecutive day, with an American delegation expected to join the talks. The primary topics reportedly include the nuclear file, freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, and financial incentives for Iran, with China and Russia intended to serve as guarantors. The report notes that progress was allegedly made on these issues on Friday. Conversely, Ali Nikzad, Deputy Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, has rejected any negotiations regarding the nuclear program, stating that Tehran's conditions for calm require the full implementation of seven specific demands. Simultaneously, spokespersons for the Iranian military and the IRGC warned that any future conflict would be longer and more extensive than in the past. In a separate regional development, the official Qatar News Agency reported that a Qatari gas tanker was attacked by unidentified objects in the Persian Gulf, resulting in no casualties or environmental damage.
