Trump says he's postponing 'scheduled attack of Iran tomorrow' at Middle East leaders' request
Trump said the pause follows appeals from Gulf allies and would keep U.S. forces ready for a large-scale assault if talks fail.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump announced he is postponing a military strike against Iran planned for Tuesday at the request of leaders in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, citing "serious negotiations" underway.
- Prior to the postponement, Trump threatened that the "clock is ticking" for Tehran to reach a deal following a fragile mid-April ceasefire, warning that fighting would renew if Iran failed to strike an agreement.
- Despite the delay, the military remains instructed to "go forward with a full, large scale assault of Iran, on a moment's notice" if an acceptable deal is not reached, maintaining active readiness.
- Diplomatic efforts expanded as Trump consulted with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Chinese President Xi Jinping regarding the Iran situation, revealing broader international involvement in negotiations.
- The administration insists there will be "NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR IRAN!" as Trump stated he expects a "very acceptable" deal, though the threat of military action remains if negotiations fail.
