On November 9, President Donald J. Trump said on X that he spoke with Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani about Iran.
According to Trump, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, and others prefer the status quo, meaning continuation of what he called the “Greatest Naval Blockade in History” and a “new Operation Iron Gate — Therefore, Land and Sea.” He added: “All have agreed that Iran cannot have a Nuclear Weapon — That is non-negotiable!”
Trump wrote that the United States is “locked and loaded” and ready to act should developments in the Middle East change, although he said such a change “seems to be quite unlikely.” He also asserted that “Israel, and the entire Middle East, are protected from Iranian danger and threats,” and that there is “positive momentum toward an end to this Conflict.” He said U.S. interests will be protected and, “At the conclusion of this Military Engagement, the American People, and the World, will be far safer and more secure.”
