Donald Trump has always been vocal about his next move when it comes to the ongoing Iran war, but not this time. The US president was mum on his supposed next move amid the Iran war and surprised the public when he revealed that he had plans to attack the country on Tuesday.
However, by Monday, Trump announced that he was holding off on his threat to attack Iran, and he also gave a surprising reason why he changed his mind.
Trump wrote on his Truth Social account that he will not bomb Iran at the request of three leaders from the Middle East. He revealed that he received messages from Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and United Arab Emirates President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to hold off on the attack. However, Trump also made it clear that an attack could happen at any given time if a deal is not reached.
'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. This Deal will include, importantly,NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR IRAN!' Trump wrote.
Earlier this week, Trump sat down for an interview where he talked about Iran and said that the country's leaders know what's going to happen soon. However, he did not specifically say that he was planning an attack on the country. Just weeks earlier, Trump announced aceasefire with Iran, but this did not last very long either.
The president decided to resume active military operations following Tehran's response to the deal negotiations to end the war, which proved to be insufficient.
On X, several users reacted to the reports about Trump changing his mind yet again regarding the Iran war. Some showed their support for the president, while others criticised him over the way he has been handling the situation.
Hasn't Trump already declared victory several times? He should declare a final victory, bring all of our troops home from the Middle East and keep his promise to put America first.

Completely moronic just costing the American taxpayer more and more money for everything because of this uncertainty. Finish the damn job you started.
