Qatar's prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, has publicly thanked Trump after their White House talks on 9 November. He said he was grateful for the positive discussions on reaching a deal and bringing peace to the region, according to Bloomberg as reported by Quartz. His earlier post on X said only that the two sides had discussed ways to progress the US-Iran talks.
Bloomberg, citing an unnamed official, reports that negotiations are expected to continue and that military escalation is unlikely while they do. This has not been independently checked.
Trump told reporters at the White House on 9 November:
"We're seeing momentum toward the end of this conflict. I think it's going to be ending fairly soon"
He also said new US strikes on Iran were "quite unlikely" but could resume if circumstances change, Quartz reports.
Iran disputes that talks are under way, Quartz notes, and no agreement has been announced. Nothing on the record yet supports Trump's prediction that the conflict will end soon.
