Trump signals positive momentum with Iran after meeting Qatari PM
US President Donald Trump said talks with Qatar’s prime minister produced “positive momentum” toward ending the war on Iran, after Qatar delivered a ceasefire proposal from Tehran. The message followed a meeting in which the Qatari prime minister conveyed Iran’s proposal, and Trump presented the contacts as a sign that diplomatic movement is possible rather than a claim that fighting has already stopped.
Al Jazeera’s Kimberly Halkett reported that the security of Gulf allies remains a central US priority as Washington weighs how to respond. That framing places the ceasefire track alongside US commitments to partners in the region, not as a separate track from those security concerns.
Trump’s public wording is limited to momentum after the Qatari-mediated proposal; the available reporting does not specify terms of the ceasefire offer, a timetable, or whether Iran and the United States have agreed anything beyond the fact that a proposal was delivered and described as generating positive movement.
