Trump says Qatar and Saudi Arabia want a peaceful end to Iran war, but US ready to strike again
US President Donald Trump said on Monday that Qatar and Saudi Arabia want the war on Iran to end peacefully. He warned, however, that Washington is prepared to resume military strikes at any moment. RT Arabic reported that he made the remarks to Reuters.
Why it matters
According to Trump, the Gulf states lean toward de-escalation, while his warning about renewed strikes keeps the risk of escalation alive. That matters for the region, since any return to military operations would affect its security and stability.
How outlets covered it
The two outlets agree on the core facts: Trump says Qatar and Saudi Arabia prefer a peaceful resolution, and that Washington is ready to resume strikes. CNN Arabic framed the remarks around the two countries' stance on the war with Iran and quoted Trump's phrases "a peaceful way" and "at any time" in quotation marks. RT Arabic highlighted that Trump made the remarks to Reuters, and phrased the readiness for strikes as "when necessary" or "if needed". In the material provided, CNN Arabic does not say who Trump made the remarks to.
