US President Donald Trump has said he had an “excellent conversation” during his meeting with Qatar’s PM Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, wherein “much was discussed” with respect to Iran.

“Most importantly, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, and others, would prefer the status quo, in other words, a continuation of the Greatest Naval Blockade in History, and the new Operation Iron Gate — Therefore, Land and Sea,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

He said all countries agreed that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, adding that is non-negotiable.

“Should there be any change with respect to developments in the Middle East, the United States of America is ‘locked and loaded’ and ready to go.

“At this point, however, that seems to be quite unlikely,” he added.

Trump asserted that Israel and the entire Middle East was protected from “Iranian danger and threats”.

“We are seeing positive momentum toward an end to this Conflict, and will ensure that America’s interests are at all times protected,” he declared.
