Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan agree to continue talks in Tehran as Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia continue
Senior officials from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan met Iranian leadership in Tehran on Monday and agreed to continue dialogue for regional peace and security. The talks coincided with continued Houthi missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia, which the Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted, and with Houthi claims of strikes on Ras Tanura refinery and the defense ministry that Saudi authorities did not confirm. Oil prices eased on hopes the diplomacy could reduce supply risks, though attacks kept concerns elevated.

The split, in one line
Coverage splits between diplomacy easing oil fears and Houthi claims of refinery strikes; the Tehran talks are the lead for some, a footnote for others, and Russian satellite intelligence appears in only one account.
