Trump: Qatar and Saudi Arabia prefer a peaceful solution with Iran, and Washington is ready for war
Al-Taj News – US President Donald Trump said on Monday that Qatar and Saudi Arabia prefer reaching a peaceful solution to the conflict with Iran, confirming that the United States is ready to resume military strikes if necessary, but noted that he is in no hurry to make this decision.
In a brief telephone interview with Reuters following his meeting with Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Trump added that Washington is ready to execute military strikes at any time, expressing satisfaction with the US naval blockade imposed on Iran.
Trump said: “We will see where things go. I am ready.”
Trump and the Qatari Prime Minister began a meeting at the White House on Monday to discuss developments in the Iranian file, at a time when Doha plays a pivotal role in mediating between Washington and Tehran by conveying proposals and facilitating indirect communications in an effort to bring views closer regarding the Iranian nuclear program and the terms for ending the conflict.
The US website “Axios” quoted informed sources stating that the Qatari Prime Minister is seeking to convince Trump to give diplomatic efforts more time to allow an opportunity to reach a settlement with Iran.
