Trump delays strike on Iran at request of three countries

Donald Trump announced that he had temporarily postponed a planned military strike on Iran on May 19 at the request of the leaders of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
He said that serious negotiations are currently underway between the parties and that there is a possibility of reaching an agreement on the nuclear weapons issue.

Trump announced that he had instructed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the US Armed Forces not to carry out the attack scheduled for May 19. At the same time, he noted that he was ready to launch large-scale strikes if an agreement was not reached.
The US president said that the attacks were postponed for two to three days, adding that “if we could solve the issue without bombing, that would be great.” At the same time, negotiations are ongoing between the US and Iran on stopping the war and on the nuclear program.
