US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he has decided to pause a planned military strike against Iran. This decision came after consultations with key Gulf allies, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. According to Trump, a comprehensive plan was ready for what he described as "the biggest attack since World War II," but he chose to delay the operation in favor of diplomatic efforts.

President Trump revealed that discussions with Gulf leaders, particularly Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, influenced his decision. During a conversation on Saturday, Trump asked the crown prince whether they preferred a deal over military action. The response favored diplomacy, as the leaders expressed concerns over the unpredictable outcomes of military escalation.

Following these discussions, Trump announced on social media that Middle East allies had reached the "perimeters" of a potential agreement to end the ongoing conflict. New negotiations with Iran are set to begin on Monday, as Trump seeks a peaceful resolution to the war that is now entering its sixth month.
