WASHINGTON:<\/strong> US President Donald Trump has said that the war involving the United States, Israel and Iran is militarily “effectively over”, raising hopes for a possible end to months of conflict in the Middle East.<\/p>\n Trump made the remarks on Monday, November 9, 2026, following a meeting with Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani at the White House.<\/p>\n Speaking to reporters, Trump said Iran’s military capabilities had been severely weakened and that Washington was maintaining the current situation rather than immediately launching further major military operations.<\/p>\n He also indicated that diplomatic efforts could help bring the conflict to an end, saying there was positive momentum towards a possible agreement.<\/p>\n However, Trump warned that American forces remained ready to respond if circumstances changed. He stressed that the United States would not allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n Qatar has been playing an important role in diplomatic efforts between Washington and Tehran, with discussions focusing on reducing tensions and finding a negotiated solution.<\/p>\n Despite Trump’s optimistic remarks, the conflict has not been formally declared over. The US naval blockade remains in place, and disagreements between Washington and Tehran continue over nuclear issues, sanctions and regional security.<\/p>\n The latest developments have raised hopes for renewed diplomacy, although the future of the Middle East conflict remains uncertain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has said that the war involving the United States, Israel and Iran is militarily “effectively over”, raising hopes for a possible end to months of conflict in the Middle East.
