President Donald Trump reversed course again, delaying planned strikes against Iran after Gulf leaders urged restraint. Trump said Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates strongly preferred diplomacy over another American attack.
He explained that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman personally urged him to pursue negotiations instead. Trump said American forces had prepared their largest planned attack since World War II Sunday. However, he cancelled those plans after consulting Gulf allies and receiving requests from Iranian officials. Trump described his conversation with the Saudi Crown Prince as important to his final decision. The two leaders discussed whether America should attack Iran or give diplomatic efforts additional time.Saudi Arabia reportedly feared Iranian retaliation could target Gulf states and damage the global economy.

Gulf Leaders Push for Diplomacy as Strait of Hormuz Dispute Continues
Trump also claimed an emerging agreement could reopen the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. The waterway carried roughly one-fifth of global energy supplies before the conflict began in February. Iranian officials, however, rejected claims that Tehran currently discussed reopening Hormuz under previous operating conditions. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said Iran would not restore the strait’s previous status. He added that Iran currently discussed shipping arrangements with Oman, which borders the waterway. Meanwhile, Iran’s Defence Minister warned that Tehran remained prepared despite Trump’s decision to suspend attacks.
Iranian leaders appeared determined to demonstrate strength while internal disagreements over negotiations continued growing. Some officials opposed negotiations with Washington, while others favored using military pressure during diplomatic discussions. Trump expected American and Iranian representatives to resume negotiations Monday afternoon, although he provided few details. A regional mediator said the proposal required both countries to return to negotiations and resolve disputes. The proposed framework would also stop regional attacks and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. In return, America would end its naval blockade and allow Iran to resume oil exports.
