Former U.S. President Donald Trump met with Qatar's Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani for approximately 45 minutes on Tuesday. Following the meeting, Trump posted a summary stating that the leaders discussed Iran extensively. He emphasized that Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, and others prefer the status quo, which includes maintaining the "largest naval blockade in history" and the new "Iron Gate" operation on land and sea. All parties agreed that Iran must not obtain nuclear weapons, a point not up for negotiation.
Trump also indicated that the United States is "alert and ready to act" if the situation in the Middle East changes, but currently, a military conflict with Iran appears "not very likely." He asserted that Israel and the entire Middle East are protected from Iranian threats and that a positive momentum exists towards ending the conflict, ensuring U.S. interests are preserved. He concluded by stating that with the end of military involvement, the American people and the world would be safer.
The article notes that Trump's statements suggest a preference for ending the war, though it questions the reliability of his claims, citing his history of disseminating misinformation. It also points to recent U.S. overnight attacks in southern Iran, targeting radar and launch facilities, which it interprets as preparations for an offensive.
