Trump meets Qatari PM and calls renewed military action on Iran ‘quite unlikely’

President Donald Trump said a resumption of US military action against Iran was “quite unlikely” for now, while warning that Washington remained “locked and loaded” if developments in the Middle East changed. In a post on Truth Social after meeting Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman at the White House, Mr Trump said Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait and other countries favoured maintaining the US naval blockade of Iran. “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,” he wrote adding, “At this point, however, that seems to be quite unlikely.”
