President Donald Trump said Monday he plans to hold off on new strikes on Iran for the time being, after appeals from regional countries including Qatar, whose prime minister met him at the White House. He said the naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz would stay for now.

The appeals list is Trump's account. Qatar's prime minister posted about "reaching a deal," not strikes. Erdogan separately says he told Trump Ankara didn't want escalation. The rest haven't spoken to it in this report.

Every country he named has a Gulf coast, and the Gulf's only opening to the ocean is Hormuz. Qeshm, which Iranian state media says the U.S. struck overnight, is Iran's largest island and sits inside that strait.
