> Qatar's prime minister said mediation was continuing. Vice President Vance has been involved in efforts to reach a cease-fire and restart nuclear talks.

President Trump was scheduled to meet Qatar's prime minister and foreign minister at the White House at noon ET Monday, putting U.S.-Iran diplomacy in focus for energy and risk markets.

The White House schedule released Nov. 8 listed the meeting for noon ET on Nov. 9 (17:00 UTC). Vice President Vance has spent the past two weeks involved in efforts to secure a new cease-fire between the United States and Iran and restart nuclear talks, while maintaining near-daily contact with Qatar's prime minister and other mediators.

Qatar's prime minister said Nov. 7 that mediation between Washington and Tehran was continuing and that the U.S. government remained willing to pursue a resolution after the midterm elections.

Trump said Nov. 8 that the chance of another U.S. military strike on Iran would be small if talks progressed, while making that dependent on Iran signing a strong agreement.

The planned meeting underscored Qatar's role as an intermediary in diplomacy with potential implications for energy and broader risk markets.
