Trump to host Qatar's PM for Iran talks as diplomacy stalls

President Donald Trump will meet Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani at the White House on Monday to address the Iran conflict, which faces significant diplomatic obstacles. 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 negotiations have made little progress, calling Iran's demands unacceptable and unrealistic. Vice President JD Vance will also meet the Qatari leader. Trump stated he would likely avoid new strikes if talks yield a strong agreement, but warned additional infrastructure targets, including bridges, remain identified if military action resumes.
