U.S. President Donald Trump announced he has postponed a planned military strike on Iran following appeals from leaders of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, stating that serious negotiations are now underway. Trump indicated that while the U.S. remains prepared for a large-scale assault if talks fail, the current diplomatic efforts aim to ensure Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons.

• Trump stated that the decision to delay the strike was made out of respect for the Gulf leaders, who believe a deal acceptable to the U.S. and Middle Eastern countries can be reached.
• The U.S. military has been instructed to remain ready for immediate action if an acceptable deal is not reached.
• The postponement comes amid heightened tensions and follows reports that Trump had previously rejected an Iranian peace proposal.
• The situation is developing as negotiations continue, with the ultimate goal of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
• The U.S. had prepared a military strike scheduled for Tuesday, but it was put on hold to allow space for ongoing diplomatic efforts.
