Trump to meet Qatar's prime minister as Iran diplomacy faces hurdles

Qatar is pressing new proposals as U.S. talks with Iran stall and officials see no imminent breakthrough, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said.

  • President Donald Trump will hold a closed-door meeting with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani at the White House on Monday at noon, with Vice President JD Vance also scheduled to attend.
  • Qatar serves as a central intermediary conveying proposals between Washington and Tehran, though Secretary of State Marco Rubio reported Sunday that negotiations have made little progress.
  • Rubio described Iran's demands as "unacceptable" and, in some cases, "outrageous and ridiculous," while the United States identified additional infrastructure targets, including bridges, should military action resume.
  • Trump said Sunday he is "highly unlikely" to order new strikes if negotiations produce a strong agreement, but warned the United States has identified additional targets should military action resume.
  • Doha's mediation remains the primary mechanism for navigating the diplomatic standoff as the administration addresses Tehran's nuclear ambitions through both diplomatic and military preparation.
