Reporting from Abu Dhabi, Fox News Digital examines how the UAE is navigating disruptions to global energy supplies.

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — President Donald Trump met Qatar's prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, on Monday at the White House as diplomatic efforts to end the war with Iran continue, even as Secretary of State Marco Rubio warns that negotiations remain far from a breakthrough and Tehran signals a willingness to negotiate without yielding to pressure.

The competing messages come as the Strait of Hormuz remains a major source of global economic disruption and regional governments push for a diplomatic solution to a conflict that has subjected Gulf countries to thousands of Iranian missile and drone attacks.

Speaking to reporters Sunday before departing for a G7 foreign ministers meeting in Paris, Rubio said there had been little progress in negotiations and rejected the terms put forward by Tehran.

He emphasized that Trump prefers a diplomatic settlement but described Iran's demands as unrealistic.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Monday that Tehran was prepared to negotiate an end to what he described as a prolonged state of neither war nor peace.

"We can negotiate with dignity and resolve the issue with dignity. We favor dialogue and negotiations," Pezeshkian said, according to Anadolu Agency on November 9, citing an Iranian presidential statement.
