The brief

President Trump has retracted threats to conduct strikes on Iran and widen the conflict, stating that an agreement could be signed as soon as this weekend in Europe. Concurrent with this announcement, mediators are in Tehran to maintain diplomatic tracks while Qatari officials have arrived in the city, though a top Iranian official has publicly expressed doubt regarding a deal with the US.

Coverage from The New York Times and The Times of Israel highlights Trump's latest policy pivot and the canceled military action. Reports from Iran International and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty focus on the diplomatic ground game, noting Iran's continued threats to attack Israel and the skepticism expressed by Iranian officials despite the presence of international mediators.

Future coverage is likely to focus on whether the stated agreement materializes in Europe this weekend. Observers are also watching the outcome of the mediators' efforts in Tehran and the impact of Qatari diplomacy on Iran's stance, specifically regarding Iranian threats against Israel and potential US interests like Kharg Island.
