Trump says US-Iran confrontation is effectively over militarily

Saudi Gazette reported on Nov. 10 that President Donald Trump described the US-Iran confrontation as effectively over from a military standpoint and spoke of momentum toward ending the conflict. That remains Trump’s assessment, not confirmation that the confrontation has ended or that a durable diplomatic settlement has been reached. In a separate Oct. 26 statement, the Saudi Foreign Ministry said Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud’s visit to Tehran was part of efforts to lower escalation, encourage dialogue and diplomatic solutions, and support Qatari and Pakistani mediation to prevent a return to military escalation. On June 15, the Ministry welcomed a US-Iran agreement to end military operations and begin detailed negotiations aimed at a permanent agreement, highlighting safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and regional security interests.
