WASHINGTON, Nov 9 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump told Reuters on Monday that Qatar and Saudi Arabia were eager for a peaceful resolution to the Iran conflict, while the United States remained ready to resume military strikes if needed.

During a brief phone interview, Trump said Qatar and Saudi Arabia would “rather see a peaceful solution.” He added that the U.S. is “ready to go anytime we want” with strikes, though he indicated no immediate rush to act.

Trump noted that the U.S. is satisfied with its naval blockade of Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, emphasizing that the situation is being monitored. “We’ll see where it goes,” he said. “I’m prepared.”
