President Trump announced on social media that the U.S. had been asked by Iran and other Middle Eastern countries to delay an attack on Iran, as a potential deal was being discussed. Reports had suggested that the U.S. and Israel were planning to target Iran’s energy infrastructure. Trump stated that the U.S. was prepared to act against Iran but agreed to hold off, contingent on reaching a deal that would open the Hormuz Strait and end Iran’s nuclear threat. Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince emphasized dialogue to reduce tensions. Iran dismissed Trump’s claims as false. This development follows previous U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, and a recent poll shows many Americans question the value of the conflict.
