Qatar's prime minister joined G7 sidelines talks in Paris on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, hours after meeting Trump about ending the war with Iran. The French government said the ministers, including four European foreign ministers and Saudi Arabia's foreign minister, would focus on the Iran crisis and its security and economic repercussions. Analysts told Iran International that securing terms both Washington and Tehran can present as a victory remains the central obstacle to the renewed diplomatic push. At the meeting, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told G7 foreign ministers that the United States would keep imposing devastating economic costs on Iran and had options beyond war or accepting Tehran's demands, four G7 diplomats told Reuters. Speaking to reporters in Paris, Rubio said the sanctions and naval blockade were working so well that President Trump does not need to resume major combat operations, and he rejected Iran's reparation demand. Trump said he saw positive momentum toward resolving the eight-month war, while Tehran urged Washington to accept its demands to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
