President Donald Trump announced he has called off a planned military strike against Iran scheduled for Tuesday. The decision follows requests from Middle East allies, including the Emir of Qatar, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, and the President of the United Arab Emirates.
Trump stated that serious negotiations are underway and that a deal acceptable to the United States is possible. He emphasized that the proposed agreement would include a commitment from Iran not to develop nuclear weapons.
The U.S. military remains prepared to launch a full-scale assault on Iran if an acceptable deal is not reached. Trump reiterated that the timing of any future action depends on whether Iran meets the terms of a negotiated settlement.
