Qatari mediators are attempting to de-escalate tensions and facilitate indirect diplomacy between Washington and Tehran after a series of retaliatory strikes.

Iranian state media reports a container ship is stuck in shallow waters after failing to follow a route mandated by the Revolutionary Guard. This incident occurs as diplomats in Qatar work toward an agreement to resolve tensions in the region.

The United States and Iran have halted hostilities in the Persian Gulf, though both nations offer conflicting accounts of diplomatic negotiations in Qatar.
