Trump to host Qatar's PM as Iran peace talks stall

President Donald Trump will meet Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani at the White House on Monday, as diplomatic efforts to end the conflict with Iran face significant obstacles. Vice President JD Vance is also scheduled to meet the Qatari leader. Qatar has served as a key intermediary between Washington and Tehran, conveying proposals on Iran's nuclear program and conflict terms. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Sunday that negotiations have made little progress, calling Iran's demands "unacceptable" and "outrageous and ridiculous." Trump stated Sunday he is unlikely to order new strikes if talks produce a strong agreement, but warned the U.S. has identified additional infrastructure targets, including bridges, should military action resume.
