President Trump said the conflict with Iran will end, possibly before the midterm elections or immediately afterward. He said Iran is very eager to reach an agreement and the U.S. does not care whether Gulf states meet with Iran, calling that their choice.

據阿聯酋通訊社：阿聯酋王儲會見俄羅斯總統，強調要繼續協調峯會成果並將其轉化爲惠及各方的實際舉措。

Mohammad Elmasry, professor at the Doha Graduate Institute, said a planned Monday meeting between Iran and Gulf officials on the Strait of Hormuz could be a pivotal moment for U.S.-Iran war dynamics. He said Iran does not seek total rupture with its Gulf neighbours and must coexist with Saudi Arabia, the UAE and other Gulf states; Iranian leadership hopes for a post-conflict order in which regional states — not the U.S. — manage their own security, which would require cooperation with Saudi and other Gulf countries. Elmasry said the meeting’s outcome warrants close attention; a key question for markets is if Gulf leaders reach an understanding with Iran, how the U.S. would respond.
