Trump: Renewed Iran Conflict Unlikely as Middle East Protected

US President Donald Trump stated that renewed military action against Iran is highly unlikely, asserting that Israel and the entire Middle East are currently protected from Iranian threats. He made the remarks in a Truth Social post following a conversation with Qatar's Prime Minister. Trump said several Middle Eastern countries, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait, support maintaining the current status quo, which includes the continuation of the largest naval blockade in history and the new "Iron Gates" operation aimed at cutting off arms and sanctioned goods shipments. He emphasized that all parties agree Iran must not acquire nuclear weapons. The president warned that the US is "ready to fight" if the situation changes, though he considers such a scenario improbable. He noted positive dynamics toward ending the conflict and said the American people and the world would be safer after its conclusion. Oil prices fell following his statements.
