President Trump announced that he has held off on a military attack against Iran as requested by Gulf leaders. He stated on Truth Social that 'serious negotiations are now taking place,' with hopes of reaching an agreement that would prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. This request came from the leaders of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

While Trump expressed optimism about a potential deal, he emphasized that the U.S. would be prepared for a 'full, large scale assault on Iran' if an acceptable agreement is not reached. Iranian military officials warned the U.S. against making strategic mistakes.

This decision follows a drop in Trump's approval ratings, with a recent poll indicating that 64% of voters disapproved of the war's initiation. As tensions simmer, Trump remains focused on diplomatic paths, indicating a desire to avoid further conflict, while also cautioning about the ticking clock for Iran to act swiftly in negotiations.
