Trump to host Qatar PM for talks on Iran nuclear proposal

US President Donald Trump will meet Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani at the White House on Monday to discuss diplomatic efforts over Iran's nuclear programme and conflict terms, with Vice President JD Vance also scheduled for talks. Iran submitted a two-day proposal via Qatari mediators on Thursday, which Washington is examining, but Tehran insists on seven preconditions including sanctions relief, reduced US military presence, and recognition of a new Strait of Hormuz shipping route. Iranian officials have warned of a "devastating" response if US attacks resume. Trump said additional Iranian targets are identified but new strikes are "highly unlikely" if negotiations yield a strong agreement, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio called Iranian demands "outrageous" and not near a breakthrough. US media report pressure from defense officials to resume military action, with limited strikes already conducted.
