Qatar PM Discusses Iran Talks with Trump, Cites Positive Progress

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Qatar’s Prime Minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, expressed satisfaction with regional developments and pathways to advance negotiations between the United States and Iran. He stated on a social media platform, “We discussed the situation in the region and ways to move forward with negotiations between the United States and Iran, and I am grateful for the positive discussions toward achieving an agreement and establishing peace in the region.”

Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump had also described his conversation with the Prime Minister of Qatar as “excellent.” He remarked, “I had a very good conversation with Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani; many issues concerning the Islamic Republic of Iran were discussed during this meeting.”

In a statement released on Monday via the “Truth Social” platform and in remarks to reporters at the White House, the U.S. President claimed, “Most importantly, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, and other countries prefer the current situation to be maintained; in other words, the unprecedented maritime blockade in history should continue, and the new ‘Iron Gate’ operation should also continue. Therefore, the blockade will continue via both land and sea.”

Repeating his rhetoric, he asserted, “All these countries agree that Iran must not acquire nuclear weapons; this matter is non-negotiable.”

Trump added that in the event of shifts in Middle East developments, the United States would be on “full alert,” although he claimed that such an occurrence is currently “very unlikely.”
