TEHRAN - Delegations from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey are in Tehran for talks aimed at preventing renewed fighting between Iran and Israel and the United States, regional officials said in a report by ABC News. The report described the Middle East as on edge over the "potential for renewed fighting," and it described the visits as high-level.
PBS NewsHour, in a report by Samy Magdy of The Associated Press, carried the Iranian position that diplomacy remains possible, while Iran rejects U.S. demands for surrender.
The two accounts differ in emphasis. ABC News named Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey as the countries whose delegations are in Tehran. The PBS NewsHour summary does not name the visiting countries and instead focuses on Iran's response to U.S. demands.
Neither outlet's material describes any outcome of the talks, and neither says how long the delegations will remain in Tehran. Both headlines point to the same concern, the potential for renewed fighting, and both place Iran at the center of the diplomacy.
The ABC News headline and the PBS NewsHour headline use nearly identical wording, describing delegations meeting in Iran as the Middle East stays on edge over the potential for renewed fighting. The available material from the two outlets does not describe any proposal put forward by the delegations.
