President Donald Trump said the US has postponed a planned military strike on
Iran that had been scheduled for Tuesday after requests from Qatar’s Emir Sheikh
Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and UAE
President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Trump said negotiations are underway on a
potential deal that would ensure Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons. He added
he instructed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Joint Chiefs Chairman General
Daniel Caine and the US military to remain prepared for a “full, large scale
assault” if an acceptable agreement is not reached.
