The US is ready to renew attacks on Iran if necessary, Qatar and Saudi Arabia want a peaceful solution to the conflict. This is what the President of the United States, Donald Trump, said in an interview with Reuters. "We are ready to hit Iran whenever we want," said the head of state. According to Trump, who met Monday with Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani at the White House, Doha "would prefer a peaceful settlement", as would Riyadh. Qatar is one of the main mediators in indirect negotiations between the US and Iran. On November 2, Reuters reported that a Qatari delegation had traveled to Tehran to discuss a possible agreement with the Islamic Republic's foreign minister, Abbas Araji. The following day, the spokesman for the Qatari Foreign Ministry, Majid bin Mohammed Al-Ansari, confirmed that the negotiators had returned to Doha after meeting with their Iranian counterparts. As the department noted, Washington and Tehran remain committed to dialogue and are studying Qatari proposals to resolve the conflict. On November 6, the emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, discussed with Trump diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions in the Middle East.
