Washington: US President Donald Trump has described the US-Israel war against Iran as “effectively over” militarily, following a meeting with Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani in Washington, DC.

Trump said Iran's military capabilities had been significantly weakened, adding that the US was maintaining the current situation at the request of neighbouring countries, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait.

The Qatari Prime Minister said discussions with Trump and US Vice President JD Vance focused on the regional situation and ways to advance US-Iran talks. He expressed optimism about reaching an agreement and restoring peace in the region.

However, Trump said the US naval blockade against Iranian ports would continue, while stressing that American forces remained ready to resume military action if necessary. He added that he expected the conflict to end fairly soon.
