Diplomatic talks on Iran continue in Washington as Tehran warns against regional US strikes
US President Donald Trump host Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani in Washington on Monday to push forward diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving the conflict with Iran.
US President Donald Trump hosted Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani in Washington on Monday to advance diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the conflict with Iran. Speaking to CNN, Trump described renewed US strikes against Tehran as "extremely unlikely" while negotiations over Iran's nuclear program and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz show progress, citing "positive momentum."
However, tensions remain elevated after Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, warned that Iranian forces would target US military facilities abroad, including European bases, if they are used to launch attacks against the Islamic Republic.
Meanwhile, global energy markets showed signs of cautious stability. Brent crude hovered at $98.35 per barrel following its sharpest weekly decline since the COVID-19 pandemic, as investors weighed diplomatic developments against ongoing geopolitical risks.
