US President Donald Trump mentioned he had opted to delay a projected military assault on Iran subsequent to a plea from the rulers of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
The US president communicated this on his social media platform, Truth Social.
As per Trump, Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan prompted him to forgo the offensive, which was reportedly mapped out for the approaching day.
As the US president indicated, Arab leaders persuaded him that earnest talks were presently being conducted and that a possibility remained to attain a consensus.
Trump articulated that the prospective pact should guarantee Iran does not obtain a nuclear armament. He conveyed that it was out of deference for associates that he directed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Daniel Kaine, and the American armed forces not to attack.
Simultaneously, the leader of the White House stressed that the United States stands prepared for a significant military campaign if the parleys prove unsuccessful and the participants cannot arrive at a satisfactory accord.
The New York Times had formerly stated that Trump's aides had already devised blueprints for recommencing military operations if diplomatic discussions ultimately hit an impasse.
