> After meeting Qatar’s prime minister and foreign minister at the White House, Trump said momentum was building toward ending the US-Iran conflict. He said Qatar and other regional countries favor keeping the US naval blockade and Operation Iron Gate in place, and that Iran must not obtain a nuclear weapon. Iran says talks should follow a halt to hostilities and the lifting of the blockade and sanctions. Trump said renewed US strikes were unlikely, while Marco Rubio said diplomatic efforts had made little progress and no breakthrough was imminent.
