WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has said that the war with Iran is “militarily effectively over” following a meeting with Qatar’s Prime Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani. His remarks suggest that Washington is moving away, for now, from plans for further major military strikes.
Trump said there was positive momentum in discussions with Tehran and that a lasting agreement should prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. However, he warned that US forces remained ready to act if the situation changed. The US naval blockade on Iranian ports is also continuing.
Iran has called for the blockade to end, sanctions to be lifted and frozen assets to be released before wider nuclear negotiations. Despite Trump’s comments, attacks on shipping in and around the Strait of Hormuz remain a concern. Oil prices fell for a second consecutive session following the latest signals, but analysts say a lasting agreement will be needed to reduce the risk of further disruption.
