WASHINGTON(The COW News Digital)US President Donald Trump has indicated that positive progress is being made towards ending the ongoing conflict with Iran, suggesting that the possibility of renewed military action in the Middle East currently appears limited.
Trump made the remarks following a meeting with Qatar’s Prime Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, during which the two leaders discussed Iran and the evolving regional situation.
In a statement shared on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump described the meeting as very productive, saying several important issues, including Iran, were discussed.
The US president claimed that Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait and other regional countries favour maintaining the current situation. He also referred to the continuation of the US naval blockade against Iran and a military operation called “Iron Gate”, which he said involves both land and maritime fronts.
Trump further stressed that preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons remains a shared priority among the countries concerned. He maintained that there could be no compromise on the issue of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons.
The American president warned that Washington remained fully prepared to respond if circumstances in the Middle East changed. However, he suggested that another round of military operations was unlikely at the moment.
Trump also claimed that Israel and the wider Middle East were protected against threats from Iran, reiterating that developments towards ending the conflict were moving in a positive direction.
Qatar has been playing an important diplomatic role in efforts to reduce tensions between Washington and Tehran. Its engagement with both sides has made Doha an important channel for discussions surrounding a possible agreement and regional de-escalation.
The meeting between Trump and the Qatari prime minister is being viewed in the context of these diplomatic efforts, particularly as regional countries seek to avoid further escalation.
Despite Trump’s positive assessment, no final agreement with Iran or official timeline for ending the conflict has been announced.
Furthermore, claims regarding support from Gulf countries for the continuation of the naval blockade and the reported military operation have not been independently verified.
The situation remains uncertain, with diplomatic engagement and regional security developments likely to shape the next phase of relations between the United States and Iran.
