Iran confirms ongoing communication with the U.S. via intermediaries amid rising war concerns before key U.S. and Israeli elections, while Saudi Arabia reopens a major airport despite continued missile attacks by Iran-backed Houthis. The International Committee of the Red Cross resumed receiving names of Palestinian detainees in Israel after a Supreme Court order.
