Trump declares Iran military conflict 'effectively over'

gmx.net (German) —

US President Donald Trump has declared the military confrontation with Iran "effectively over," stating no new attacks are planned while maintaining the naval blockade. He cited pressure from neighboring countries for this stance. Trump made the remarks after meeting Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, with Qatar serving as a mediator. He listed Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait as preferring the status quo, while expressing hope for a peace agreement soon. Trump previously called new strikes "highly unlikely" but tied that to negotiation progress. Media reports had suggested he might order renewed large-scale operations after the US midterm elections.
