KABUL: U.S. President Donald Trump says Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, and other regional countries support maintaining the current situation and blockade against Iran.
Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social on Tuesday morning, following a conversation with Qatari Emir and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, that they had held a good discussion on several issues related to Iran.
He added that the countries want the current situation against Iran to continue, including what he described as the largest naval blockade in history and a new operation called “Iron Gate” remaining in place on land and at sea.
Trump also stressed that all the countries agree Iran must not possess nuclear weapons, saying the issue is not open to negotiation or compromise under any circumstances.
