Iran maintains peace proposal despite new U.S. strikes, Trump meets Qatar leader
Al Jazeera reported that Iran said its seven-point proposal to end hostilities remains unchanged despite recent U. S. air strikes, and diplomatic talks continue. Earlier, President Donald Trump announced he would meet Qatar’s prime minister and vice president JD Vance in Washington to discuss the Iranian peace plan, which senior officials said is unlikely to produce an immediate settlement.
The United States also announced a new task force to enforce a naval blockade of Iran. Qatar’s emir presented a mediation plan that would lift the blockade, unfreeze Iranian assets and allow IAEA inspections of damaged nuclear sites in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. A senior Iranian official said Tehran had forwarded a nuclear proposal to Washington via Qatar, to be considered only after the United States meets seven Iranian demands.
