- US President Donald Trump announced that he discussed the Iran issue with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani. Claiming that the Gulf countries want the naval blockade against Iran and "Operation Iron Gate" to continue, Trump said, "Everyone agrees that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons. There is no negotiation on this."
GULF COUNTRIES WANT THE BLOCKADE TO CONTINUE
US President Donald Trump made statements regarding Iran and developments in the Middle East after his meeting with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani. In a statement on his Truth Social account, Trump said:
"I had an excellent meeting with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani during which many issues concerning the Islamic Republic of Iran were discussed. Most importantly, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, and other countries prefer the current situation—in other words, the largest naval blockade in history and the new 'Operation Iron Gate'—that is, both on land and at sea—to continue. Everyone agrees that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons; there is no negotiation on this!"
POSITIVE MOMENTUM TOWARD ENDING THE CONFLICT
In continuation of his statement, Trump said: "In the event of any change in developments in the Middle East, the United States is 'ready and alert' and prepared to take action. But at the moment, this possibility seems quite low. Israel and the entire Middle East are protected from the dangers and threats posed by Iran. We observe positive momentum toward ending this conflict and we will ensure that America's interests are always protected. At the end of this military intervention, the American people and the world will be in a much safer and more secure situation."
