Trump said Gulf leaders' input weighed heavily in his decision not to order new strikes against Iran.
U.S. President Donald Trump said Gulf leaders’ input weighed heavily in his decision to hold off on ordering new strikes against Iran.
Trump also wrote Saturday that an emerging deal would include the “Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran’s nuclear threat,” according to 11Alive.
The existence and terms of the emerging deal described by Trump have not been independently confirmed in the supplied reports.
The reports do not identify the Gulf leaders whose input Trump said influenced his decision. They also do not explain what those leaders told him or how their input affected the decision.
No response from Iran or Gulf governments was included in the supplied material.
It was not immediately clear when Trump decided to hold off on the strikes or what proposed military action had been under consideration.
