Trump’s comments followed discussions with Qatar’s prime minister, a key mediator, and came as U.S. officials and regional actors assessed whether hostilities could wind down after months of fighting. Iran’s security chief Mohsen Rezaei accused Washington of manufacturing false reports about talks, while the United States has said it remains prepared to respond if circumstances change. The uncertainty is compounded by reported U.S. military movements, including the evacuation of aircraft from a British base after an Iranian threat, and continuing violence involving Iran-aligned forces elsewhere in the region.
