Trump to Meet Qatar’s Prime Minister to Discuss U.S.-Iran Nuclear Talks and a Ceasefire

[Financial News]  U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Qatar’s prime minister and foreign minister, on the 9th (local time) to discuss reaching a new ceasefire agreement with Iran and resuming nuclear negotiations.
On the 8th, political news outlet Axios reported that the Qatari prime minister, who has served as a key mediator between Washington and Tehran in recent weeks, is expected to urge President Trump at the meeting to allow more time for a diplomatic solution.
In a media interview that day, President Trump said the likelihood of further U.S. attacks on Iran had fallen significantly as long as negotiations aimed at ending the war continued to make progress. He warned, however, that the United States had already selected key infrastructure targets in Iran in case military operations resumed.
In a phone interview with CNN, he stressed that future developments depended on whether Tehran accepted a “very favorable deal,” and said there would be no further attacks if an agreement was reached. He added a strong warning, saying that if a decision were made to resume strikes, “38 bridges in Iran could be destroyed in just one hour.”
Later, President Trump said on his social media platform Truth Social that the “Iron Gate” unit was fully operational against Iran.
According to foreign media, the operation aims to block the transport of advanced weapons and sanctioned goods across Iran’s land borders and via the Caspian Sea.
