Trump tells Gulf leaders Iran must cease support of proxy groups as part of any nuclear deal

President Donald Trump addressed Gulf leaders on May 14, 2025, in Riyadh, urging Iran to cease support for proxy groups as part of any nuclear deal.
Trump's call followed four recent rounds of U.S.-Iran talks focused on winding down Iran's nuclear program amid concerns Iran enriched uranium up to 60%.
During his visit to Riyadh as part of his Middle East tour, Trump held talks with Ahmad al-Sharaa, Syria's temporary leader, in a historic diplomatic encounter not seen between the two countries' heads in a quarter-century, and committed to ending sanctions that had been enforced during Bashar Assad's regime, which ended in December 2024.
At the state dinner, Trump expressed hope that Qatar could assist with the situation in Iran, stressing that Tehran must end its support for terrorism and completely halt any advancement toward developing nuclear weapons in a verifiable and lasting manner.
Trump's engagement signals a potential shift in U.S. Policy toward Syria and aims to pressure Iran, but the outcomes depend on Iran's response and continued Gulf cooperation amid ongoing regional tensions.
