Washington Sees Progress on the Iran Conflict
US President Donald Trump says the United States senses a positive push toward ending the conflict with Iran. He added that Washington is also ready for fresh strikes on the country if needed. The remarks came on November 10 from Washington.
Trump shared his view on his social network, Truth Social. “We see positive momentum toward the end of this conflict,” he wrote. His message gave a short but clear signal about where the US thinks the Iran conflict stands right now.
Call With Qatar’s Prime Minister
The president explained that he talked over the situation with Qatar’s prime minister and foreign minister. That official is Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani. The conversation gave Trump a fresh look at how Gulf leaders see the crisis.
Trump then described what several regional states want. “Most importantly, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait and others would prefer to keep the status quo. In other words, the continuation of the greatest naval blockade in history and a new operation Iron Gates,” the US president said.
US Forces Stay on Alert
Trump also stressed that Washington is fully prepared for any surprise. “In case of any changes in the development of the situation in the Middle East, the US is loaded and ready to act,” he said. He added that such a turn does not look likely for now.
The message is two sided. The White House points to progress on one hand. On the other hand, it keeps military pressure on the table. Trump made clear that the next step depends on how events unfold in the region.
