ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq – US President Donald Trump on Monday announced that he was postponing a planned attack on Iran scheduled the next day at the request of Gulf leaders, who said ongoing negotiations could lead to a deal that involves “NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR IRAN!”

Trump stated in a post on Truth Social that he was asked by the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Iran 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… a Deal will be made.”

The deal, according to the president, will be “very acceptable” to Washington as well as regional countries. “This Deal will include, importantly, NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR IRAN!”

The leaders included the Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman, and the UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

On Sunday, Trump told Iran to “get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them,” warning that “the Clock is Ticking.”

Trump said that based on his “respect” for the leaders, he had instructed US defense authorities to not proceed with the scheduled attack plan on Tuesday, but alerted them to prepare for “a full, large-scale assault of Iran, on a moment’s notice, in the event that an acceptable Deal is not reached.”

Meanwhile, US officials told Axios on Monday that Iran’s Sunday proposal for a peace deal, sent through Pakistani mediators, is “insufficient” for an agreement, with a senior official noting that if Tehran does not engage in “real” dialogue about its nuclear program with the US, “we will have a conversation through bombs, which will be a shame.”

American and Israeli leaders are mulling restarting the war with Iran, Western and Israeli outlets report, as a two-week ceasefire that was initially announced by Trump on April 8 has been extended for several weeks beyond its deadline.

The ceasefire was meant to halt hostilities while the two warring sides attempted to reach an agreement. The prospect of a permanent end to the conflict has been rocky, however.
