WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump met Qatar’s prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, at the White House on Monday as part of diplomacy aimed at ending the war involving the United States, Israel and Iran^1,6.

After the meeting, Trump made an unscheduled appearance in the White House briefing room and told reporters he believed the Iran conflict was militarily over and that U.S. forces were holding the status quo, according to an Associated Press dispatch carried by several outlets^2,3,4.

Arab News, carrying AFP, said Trump also described positive momentum toward a deal and wrote on Truth Social that a resumption of U.S. military strikes on Iran was quite unlikely, adding that Gulf governments wanted to keep the status quo⁶. The AP account said he still wanted a longer-term arrangement covering Iran’s nuclear program^2,4.

Middle East Eye, citing Axios and an Al Jazeera source, reported that the talks were described as positive and that Sheikh Mohammed also met Vice President JD Vance⁵. Independent confirmation of those private characterizations was not in the public record, and Iran’s response to Monday’s session was not detailed in the reports reviewed^1,5,6.
