BREATHING ROOM : QATAR TELLS G7 IT BOUGHT AT LEAST TWO WEEKS TO HOLD OFF A U.S . STRIKE ON IRAN

What happened: Qatar's Prime Minister told G7 foreign ministers in Paris that Doha secured at least two weeks in which the United States will hold off attacking Iran, after his White House talks with President Trump and Vice President Vance. Why it matters: Trump said there was momentum toward ending the war and that Iran is "militarily, effectively over," but did not rule out further action and kept the Strait of Hormuz blockade. Al Thani said the sides remain far apart on sequencing.
