US President Donald Trump says he has called off a planned US attack on Iran, which he described as scheduled for Tuesday (and in one account, for “tomorrow”). Trump says the decision follows requests from leaders of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, who urged him to suspend the operation while negotiations continue. In a statement posted on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump frames the pause as temporary and linked to “serious negotiations” in progress, with the Gulf leaders indicating that a deal could still be reached. Multiple outlets report the same sequence: a planned strike date is set, Trump then receives messages from these regional leaders, and the planned attack is postponed or paused so talks can proceed. The coverage focuses on Trump’s account of events and does not include independent confirmation of the planned attack details or of the diplomatic negotiations’ specific contents. Overall, the reporting aligns that Trump presents the Gulf leaders’ request as the key reason for the change in the US timeline.
