The President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced on Monday, November 9, in a short telephone interview with the Reuters news agency, that Qatar and Saudi Arabia are eager to reach a peaceful solution regarding the conflict with the Islamic Republic of Iran, but the United States is fully prepared to resume military strikes if necessary.
Trump, who met on Monday with the Prime Minister of Qatar at the White House, emphasized that "Qatar would prefer to see a peaceful solution", but warned: "We are ready to renew the attacks whenever we want." These statements come as diplomatic efforts by regional mediators to reduce tensions and restore stability to the region are still ongoing.
