Donald Trump claimed that a planned US strike on Iran was postponed at the last moment, but warned that a future attack is still possible. He issued a fresh 2–3 day deadline and said the US military remains on high alert. According to Trump, the decision to pause the strike came after urgent appeals from key Gulf leaders, including those of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, who pushed for diplomacy instead of war. Reports suggest that behind-the-scenes negotiations are underway, focusing on a potential deal that would prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Tensions have also escalated around the strategic Strait of Hormuz, with Iran asserting stronger control over the key shipping route and issuing threats in response to US pressure. Meanwhile, Iran has strongly rejected Trump’s claims and warned that the US would face consequences if it escalates conflict. Despite diplomatic efforts, both sides remain on high alert, with rising fears of a wider regional confrontation.
