Trump Says Further US Strikes on Iran Unlikely as Peace Talks Make Positive Progress
WASHINGTON:US President Donald Trump has said that the possibility of renewed military strikes against Iran is low, claiming that positive progress is being made in negotiations aimed at ending the war.
In a statement following his meeting with Qatar’s Prime Minister at the White House, Trump described the talks as positive and said the two sides held detailed discussions on the situation involving Iran.
Trump claimed that Qatar, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries favour maintaining the current situation. In other words, he said, these countries prefer the continuation of what he described as the largest naval blockade in history and Operation Iron Gate.
Meanwhile, Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani said Doha attaches great importance to constructive dialogue to reach an agreement and establish peace in the region.
He emphasised Qatar’s commitment to positive diplomatic engagement aimed at resolving regional tensions and achieving lasting stability.
