Qatar secured ‘at least two weeks’ for diplomacy to avert US strike on Iran
According to i24NEWS, Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani told G7 foreign ministers in Paris that Qatar has secured at least two weeks to pursue diplomacy aimed at averting a US strike on Iran, following meetings at the White House with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. Diplomatic sources stated this window will be used to advance understandings between Washington and Tehran. In Paris, Al Thani noted that significant differences remain regarding the sequence of steps, including the lifting of the naval blockade, the nuclear issue, and the unfreezing of Iranian assets. Following the White House meeting, Trump claimed on Truth Social that progress had been made toward ending the war, asserting that Iran had been militarily defeated, while leaving the possibility of further strikes open.
