Time was running out for Iran as this week began to make a peace deal with the U.S. that President Trump could accept. Word is he was ready to resume the attacks on the Islamic Republic on Tuesday.
But on Monday, the president announced that the attack had been called off again. He took to his Truth Social platform to explain the latest pause:
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, in 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.
This Deal will include, importantly, NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR IRAN!
Based on my respect for the above mentioned Leaders, I have instructed Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, The Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Daniel Caine, and The United States Military, that we will NOT be doing the scheduled attack of Iran tomorrow, but have further instructed them to be prepared to go forward with a full, large scale assault of Iran, on a moment’s notice, in the event that an acceptable Deal is not reached.
Like you, I’m waiting to see if the Iranians will indeed propose something the president can accept in the next 24 hours. I’m hopeful they will, so we can get Trump to refocus back on America after having resolved a 47-year ‘problem’ for the U.S.
