The president said that renewed strikes against Iran were unlikely as long as negotiations move forward.
President Donald Trump met Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani of Qatar at the White House on Monday. The leaders discussed the war in Iran and the discussions that Qatar is mediating to bring an end to the conflict.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Sunday, “I wouldn’t say we’re on the verge of a breakthrough. The President would always prefer to solve this and every problem diplomatically. Sometimes that’s not possible, unfortunately.”
He added, “Right now it hasn’t been very productive, because the Iranian demands are simply not just unacceptable but, in some cases, outrageous and ridiculous and really not realistic.”
President Trump stated over the weekend that renewed U.S. strikes against Tehran were highly unlikely if progress is made toward an agreement regarding the regime’s nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz. The president said he was not interested in escalating the war.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For discernment for President Trump as he monitors negotiations with the Islamic Republic regarding the Strait of Hormuz and the regime’s nuclear program.
- For Secretary Rubio as he discusses international conflicts with G7 partners in France.
- For U.S. officials as they seek terms for peace with Iran.
