Gulf states urged Trump to avoid escalation in the US-Israeli conflict with Iran after regional attacks. Trump said he would postpone a scheduled attack on Iran at the request of regional leaders, crediting leaders including Qatar’s emir and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for changing his mind. He instructed the Secretary of War, the Joint Chiefs chairman, and US military forces not to carry out the scheduled attack, while directing them to be prepared for a full large-scale assault on short notice if an acceptable deal is not reached. Trump linked the reversal to serious negotiations and reiterated that nuclear weaponry is a red line, stating any deal would include no nuclear weapons for Iran. Pakistan has acted as a mediator since the US joined Israel in attacking Iran on February 28.
"Gulf states have pushed Trump to avoid any escalation in the US-Israeli war against Iran, which prompted regional attacks. United States President Donald Trump has announced he will postpone a scheduled attack against Iran at the request of regional leaders in the Middle East. The reversal, he said, came in light of the development that serious negotiations are now taking place."
"I have instructed Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, The Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Daniel Caine, and The United States Military, that we will NOT be doing the scheduled attack of Iran tomorrow, Trump added. Still, he added that he instructed them to be prepared to go forward with a full, large scale assault of Iran, on a moment's notice, in the event that an acceptable Deal is not reached."
"Trump credited the intervention of leaders including Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for changing his mind. It is unclear what, if any, breakthrough has been made in the stalled negotiations to end the conflict between the US, Israel and Iran. But Trump credited the intervention of leaders including Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for changing his mind."
"Trump has argued that the war was necessary to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, though the country has denied seeking one. The US president reprised that theme in Monday's post, calling nuclear weaponry a red line. This Deal will include, importantly, NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR IRAN, he wrote."
