President Donald Trump announced on Monday that at the request of Arab leaders, he’s cancelled an attack on Iran that had been scheduled to take place the next day.
“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,” wrote the president in a post on Truth Social. “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,” he continued before concluding with his customary appreciation for the public’s “attention to this matter!”
The United States and Iran agreed to a ceasefire in early April that was initially supposed to last only two weeks, but has held for over a month despite the occasional outbreak of hostilities.
Trump has repeatedly warned Iran that it must accede to his terms for a lasting peace agreement or face grave consequences before extending the deadline for negotiations.
On Sunday, Trump declared that “For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!” in a Truth Social post that struck a very different chord than his announcement of yet another extension the following day.
Axios’s Barak Ravid reported earlier on Monday that the U.S. had rejected the Iranians’ latest offer.
“U.S. officials say President Trump wants a deal to end the war, but is considering resuming it due to Iran’s rejection of many of his demands and refusal to make meaningful concessions on its nuclear program,” wrote Ravid about the state of play. A senior U.S. official told him, “We are really not making a lot of progress. We are at a very serious place today. The pressure is on them [the Iranians] to be responsive in the right way.”

Wrong: it fell early this week, on MACO.
MAGA! 4D chess! Art of the deal! 2 weeks and we’re out! 15 days to slow the spread! Those 50 million illegals are out day one! The golden age! going to stop those endless wars! Going to be beautiful. The best.
“But neither of you understand what Trump is doing here.
How can you have an opinion when you don’t understand what he’s doing?”
Oh yeah, right. All of his other secret 5D chess type strategy has worked out soooooo well.
He doesn’t have a freakin’ clue what to do next or how to end this shit show he started.
And you do?…llol
Old story or what?
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
But nothing Trump has ever done or said justifies what you’re saying.
You have nothing.
TACO Monday is trending on X and i admit, it is funny.
This happened the last time
...on a Monday
I find this fascinating. Note who is not mentioned in this release -— That little country on the Med.
Psychobabble.
Yep,,same old, same old…..
“It shows lack of confidence in what you believe in private.”
Word salad, mind reading. no “reason” detected.
Psychobabble.
All psychobabble.
Is that you swalwell?
There’s a lot here.
But what’s most noticeable is that the naysayers have no substance in their arguments.
This is another IQ test. Shall I let you know when your score is ready for you to pick up? It’ll be a hard copy.
The Pakis got tired. Hand off to another pack of Muzzie brothers.
We should just leave for all the good that is being done. If oil prices go down it will not be by Trump’s hand. Not for a very long time. Screw it all and lte the ME and China sort it out. We have been there too long.
But your only case is founded on refusing to trust President Trump.
Please do,,,,impressed here that your response had so many syllables….lol
How is it possible neither of you were nominated for Secretary of Defense?
