Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani says the US-Iran agreement will result in positive outcomes throughout the Middle East, Al Jazeera reports.

“I want to thank you for your leadership in this very critical time in the Middle East. This is a very important deal, there’s still a lot of work to be done, but with this momentum – if we continue like that Mr President – I think we can achieve and do great things in the region,” Sheikh Tamim told Trump at the summit.
