Trump discusses Iran crisis with Qatar amid calls for peace
President Trump is dropping threats of a massive new attack on Iran just as he meets with the Qatari royal family to talk de-escalation. Global tensions are high as the region deals with military skirmishes and major power deals between Moscow and Tehran.
President Trump signaled that he might order a new, major U.S. assault on Iran, but he also reached out to Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani to discuss ending the ongoing conflict.
The Qatari royal family has been receiving calls from Iran’s top diplomat as well, all attempting to keep things stable in the region amidst fears of more major U.S. strikes.
The emir himself stressed that dialogue must remain key to solving disputes and preventing any further dangerous escalation between the nations.
Trump has repeatedly warned Iran that he could decide to 'destroy what is left' of the country, noting that it would take roughly 25 years for Iran to rebuild after the recent damage.
In other news, Russia and Iran solidified their ties after Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei to explore building a gas pipeline between their two countries.
On the ground, the Saudi-led coalition announced it had successfully destroyed two ballistic missiles launched by Houthi rebels near Najran, which is a city in southwestern Saudi Arabia.
