Donald Trump said to have called off a military attack on Iran which was to take place tomorrow. Mr Trump said he was "asked" by the Emir of Qatar and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia "to hold off" their planned attack on the Islamic Republic.

He wrote on Truth Social: "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. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP."

This message came after Mr Trump issued a threat to Iran saying that "the clock is ticking". Writing on Truth yesterday he said:

"They better get moving, FAST, or there won't be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!"

The US President also previously said that the monthlong fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran is on “massive life support" after dismissing Tehran's response to ⁠a US peace proposal as "stupid". He had called the Iranian counter to US proposals "totally unacceptable".
