The U.S. government has refrained from military action against Iran following a recent White House meeting with Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, the Prime Minister of Qatar. This meeting, in which Trump sought diplomacy with Iran and a reduction of tensions in the region, is seen as an important step in Qatar's mediation efforts.
