Donald Trump postpones his planned US attack on Iran

President Donald Trump announced Monday that he had postponed a planned U.S. military strike against Iran at the request of key Gulf allies, who said negotiations with Tehran could result in a deal that “would be very acceptable” to the United States and other Middle Eastern countries.

Trump said in a lengthy Truth Social article that he had received requests from Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud and United Arab Emirates President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan “to delay our planned military attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran, scheduled for tomorrow, as serious negotiations are underway.”

“In their view, as great leaders and allies, a deal will be reached that will be very acceptable to the United States of America, as well as to all countries in the Middle East and beyond. This deal will include, and this is important, NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR IRAN!’” Trump said.

Trump said that “based on [his] respect” of the three leaders, he ordered Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, General Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the US military to withdraw from a strike against Iran planned for Tuesday.

The president, however, said the U.S. military had been instructed to remain ready to launch “a full-scale attack against Iran, at short notice” if negotiations failed to produce what he described as an acceptable agreement.

The governments of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates are increasingly positioning themselves as intermediaries while seeking to avoid a direct military confrontation between the United States and Iran that could threaten oil markets and shipping lanes across the Middle East.
