US President Trump to Meet Qatari Prime Minister for Iran Diplomacy

US President Donald Trump will host Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani at the White House on Monday to discuss ongoing tensions with Iran and the search for diplomatic solutions.

In the closed-door session scheduled according to the White House program, Qatar's role as a mediator between Washington and Tehran will be discussed. Qatar serves as a key actor, carrying proposals between the parties to bridge differences regarding Iran's nuclear program and the cessation of conflicts. Vice President JD Vance is also expected to attend the meeting.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Sunday that no significant progress has been made in the negotiations and that he does not expect a solution in the near future. Rubio expressed that while Trump prefers a diplomatic solution, Iran's current demands are unacceptable and unrealistic.

Trump indicated that if progress is made in the negotiations, it is unlikely he would order new attacks on Iran. However, the US administration has warned that additional infrastructure targets have been identified should military operations resume.
