The conflict in the Middle East remains tense as diplomatic efforts continue alongside new Houthi attacks. Iran says it is open to mediation, while a Saudi-led coalition said it had intercepted a ballistic missile fired toward the country, AnewZ reported.
Qatar has put forward a new proposal aimed at ending the war with the United States and Israel, Reuters reported. A senior Iranian official said Doha had presented only unacceptable ideas that could not be considered proposals.
According to reports, the draft includes a seven-day timetable for confidence-building measures addressing the concerns of both sides. Tehran says it is open to diplomacy but will not soften its position on the nuclear issue.
The mediation efforts are taking place as tensions in the region rise again and concerns about oil supplies grow following Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia’s energy infrastructure. The Saudi-led coalition destroyed a ballistic missile fired by the Houthis in Yemen toward eastern Saudi Arabia early Thursday, Reuters reported.
Saudi Arabia’s civil defense authority had earlier issued alerts for Najran and the Eastern Province, then said the threat had passed.
According to an image distributed by Reuters, smoke rose above a Saudi Aramco refinery south of Riyadh on Oct. 3, 2026, following reports of Houthi attacks.
