Trump Postpones Planned Iran Strike After Appeals from Gulf Leaders

In a social media post, President Trump announced he would not go ahead with a planned military attack on Iran scheduled for Tuesday. He said he informed U.S. defense leaders that the strike was called off following requests from the Emir of Qatar, the Saudi Crown Prince, and the UAE President. Trump explained that serious negotiations are now under way and that any agreement must include a strict ban on nuclear weapons in Iran. He warned, however, that the U.S. military should remain ready to launch a large-scale assault on short notice if talks break down. The announcement comes amid a fragile ceasefire and ongoing tensions over the Strait of Hormuz, where recent blockades have disrupted vital oil shipments. Trump described the truce as “on life support” and underlined the importance of a definitive deal.
