Multiple reports say Donald Trump states that a US military strike plan against Iran, which he described as a “full scale” attack scheduled for the next day, does not proceed as initially planned. According to the accounts, Trump claims the Pentagon pushed back the timing of what he portrayed as an operation planned for “tomorrow.” He attributes the change to direct requests from Gulf leaders, naming Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. The reports describe Trump as saying US forces were stood down or that the attack was aborted at the “eleventh hour” after intervention by these Middle Eastern leaders. The outlets focus on Trump’s explanation of the decision, but they do not provide additional independent detail on the specific military plans, the timing changes in official terms, or further confirmations from the Pentagon or other US officials. Overall, the common thread across sources is Trump’s claim that the planned strike was postponed following requests from Gulf allies and that it ultimately does not occur on the originally intended date.
