Trump says further US military action against Iran not needed for now

President Donald Trump stated that further US military action against Iran is not currently necessary, signaling a potential de-escalation while maintaining readiness to respond to any changes in the Middle East. Trump made the remarks after meeting Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, a key mediator between Washington and Tehran. He indicated that Gulf Arab states prefer maintaining the status quo, including the naval blockade and Operation Iron Gate, and expressed belief the conflict will end soon. The president suggested the conflict has "essentially ended" but reiterated threats against Tehran, without specifying what changed his stance. He also confirmed no changes to immigration policy and was joined at the press conference by UFC CEO Dana White.
