Trump is due to meet Qatar's prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, today, Monday 9 November, to discuss a new ceasefire and restarting nuclear talks with Iran, the White House says, according to Iran International. Investinglive puts the meeting at 12:00 US Eastern, which is 17:00 GMT.
Vice President JD Vance is expected to see the Qatari prime minister separately beforehand, a source familiar with the matter told Mezha. The same source says Vance has been personally involved in the indirect talks for about two weeks and has spoken to Al Thani almost daily.
Axios, as relayed by Iran International, reports that Qatar is seeking more time for diplomacy. Qatar has denied reports that the US and Iran failed to reach a deal and says both sides are still working towards one, according to Investinglive.
Axios also adds a detail to the two-day Qatari plan. After the Strait of Hormuz reopens on day two, nuclear negotiations would resume, focused on Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium.
Regional sources cited by Mezha say Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkey are also involved, and that the US midterms slowed the talks. These reported details have not been independently checked.
