Al Jazeera reported that Qatari mediators revisited Tehran on Friday morning, aiming to restore the June ceasefire. This visit followed the delivery of a letter from US Vice President JD Vance to Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei days earlier, proposing a resumption of peace talks. Iranian sources confirmed receipt of the letter and stated that a meeting regarding new diplomatic avenues could take place within a week. Meanwhile, US media reported that Washington has warned its Gulf allies to prepare for potential military action after the November 3 midterm elections. The Wall Street Journal stated that President Donald Trump was briefed on options to resume attacks on Thursday, while Senator Chris Murphy described the war plan as "insane." Donald Trump had said earlier on Friday that a war with Iran would "end quickly," but did not specify how.
