US President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani at the White House. This diplomatic engagement occurs while Qatar actively serves as a chief mediator aiming to address differences between Washington and Tehran regarding Iran's nuclear programme. Reports indicate that Iran is reviewing proposals presented by Qatar, yet officials note that Tehran remains unwilling to negotiate directly with the Trump administration over its atomic activities until Washington agrees to several core conditions required for any ceasefire agreement. These demands include ending the US blockade on Iranian ports, lifting economic sanctions, unfreezing national assets, issuing compensation for war damage, and ending hostilities throughout the region, including Israeli operations in Lebanon. While US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that no diplomatic breakthrough is currently at hand, President Trump informed CNN in an interview that if the US observes progress in negotiations and a strong agreement is signed, resuming strikes is unlikely to be necessary. However, Trump also revealed that the United States has identified 38 infrastructure targets, including bridges, which would face military action if hostilities resume. Amid these diplomatic efforts, the US military has executed limited strikes on Iranian air defences over the past week and disabled a commercial vessel attempting to breach the naval blockade. Secretary Rubio reaffirmed that the United States maintains the right to take defensive actions to protect shipping lanes and forces in the region against any clear and present threats.
