Trump speaks with Qatar's emir about Iran de-escalation amid nuclear diplomacy and ongoing war
US President Donald Trump held a phone call with Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani about diplomatic efforts to de-escalate regional tensions and reach a comprehensive agreement with Iran. Trump also told reporters he would "rather not destroy" Iran but may "have to," saying a decision would come "soon enough." Iran and the US were reported to be reviewing Qatari-mediated nuclear proposals, while Iran maintained seven demands presented in August.
