U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Monday the postponement of the military attack against Iran that had been scheduled for tomorrow.
Trump said in a post on the “Truth Social” platform, followed by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), “I have been asked by the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, and the President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to hold off on our planned military attack of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which was scheduled for tomorrow.”
He added that “serious negotiations are now taking place, and that, in their opinion, as great leaders and allies, a deal will be made which will be very acceptable to the United States of America, as well as all countries in the Middle East, and beyond,” noting that “this deal will include, importantly, no nuclear weapons for Iran.”
He continued, “Based on my respect for the above-mentioned leaders, I have instructed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Daniel Caine, and the United States military, that we will not be carrying out the scheduled attack on Iran tomorrow, but I have also instructed them to be prepared to move forward with a full large scale assault of Iran, on a moment’s notice, in the event that an acceptable Deal is not reached.”
