Trump declares Iran war effectively over after Qatar talks

President Donald Trump said the Iran war was "effectively over" after meeting Qatar's prime minister in Washington, indicating that diplomatic momentum was building. Earlier, Trump had said the conflict could end soon, citing the destruction of Iran's navy and rising inflation, while Iran reaffirmed that its seven-point proposal to end hostilities remained unchanged after recent U. S. air strikes. A senior Iranian official said Tehran forwarded a nuclear proposal to Washington via Qatar, conditioned on seven U.

S. demands. Qatar's mediation plan offered to lift the Strait of Hormuz blockade, unfreeze Iranian assets and allow IAEA inspections in exchange for reopening the waterway. The United States announced a new task force to enforce its naval blockade, and Trump was scheduled to meet the Qatari prime minister and Vice President JD Vance in Washington.

    It’s easy to get lost in the back-and-forth between governments, but what worries me most is how everyday people around the Strait of Hormuz are caught in the middle—facing higher prices and uncertainty while these demands and inspections drag on. Who’s really paying the price here?
