US President Donald Trump said on Monday there was momentum toward ending the war with Iran, as he declared that the country \u201cmilitarily, is effectively over,\u201d but kept open the possibility of new strikes.<\/p>\n

Trump met at the White House with Qatar Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani \u2014 a key mediator in the Iran war. It was his first meeting with a foreign leader since his party\u2019s massive losses in the midterm elections.<\/p>\n

Trump later posted on Truth Social that the two leaders had \u201can excellent conversation\u201d and that \u201cmuch was discussed with respect to the Islamic Republic of Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the weeks leading up to the midterms, there was widespread speculation that US strikes against Iran would resume soon after.<\/p>\n

However, Trump has talked down resuming the conflict while leaving the door open to further strikes \u2014 a position he reiterated Monday at a White House press briefing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIran, militarily, is effectively over. We\u2019re just keeping it the status quo,\u201d Trump told reporters. \u201cBut if we do have to go back in, we are locked and loaded, and ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his social post on Monday, Trump said that he believed further strikes were \u201cquite unlikely\u201d given that key US allies in the Gulf \u201cwould prefer the status quo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are seeing positive momentum toward an end to this Conflict, and will ensure that America\u2019s interests are at all times protected,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

\u2013 \u2018Imaginary talks\u2019 \u2013<\/h2>\n

Iranian officials meanwhile expressed defiance at the continued pressure from Washington.<\/p>\n

The Islamic republic\u2019s top security chief, Mohsen Rezai, wrote on X late Monday that the US \u201cflails like a desperate gambler,\u201d telling Washington to \u201cfold your hand. Stop manufacturing fake news about imaginary talks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier, Tehran\u2019s top negotiator Mahammad Bagher Ghalibaf claimed on X that Israel was pushing the US deeper into conflict, adding that \u201cunless Washington drops the \u2018Israel First\u2019 mindset, America and its allies are headed straight for a dark age.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the ground in Iran, strikes \u2014 which have not been publicly acknowledged by the US military \u2014 are continuing, according to Iranian authorities.<\/p>\n

The island of Qeshm, located in the Strait of Hormuz, was targeted overnight from Sunday to Monday, the provincial deputy governor stated on state television.<\/p>\n

Trump has acknowledged that the highly unpopular war with Iran\u00a0was at least partially responsible for the Republicans\u2019 defeat, not least because it has contributed to rising prices in the US economy.<\/p>\n
