Israel Lebanon Iran War

U.S. and Iranian negotiators have met separately with Qatari and Pakistani mediators and host Qatar is reporting positive progress in talks. The plan is to continue discussions after the funeral of Iran’s previous supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, which is set to start on Saturday. The talks focus on ending the war and resolving issues over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran insists on controlling ship routes and charging fees, which the U.S. and Gulf Arab states oppose. Meanwhile, a U.S. Navy helicopter made an emergency landing in the Arabian Sea, with one crew member missing.
