Trump Halts Iran Attack Amid Gulf State Pleas, Cites Talks

Washington DC. US President Donald Trump has postponed the military attack on Iran scheduled for Tuesday at the request of Gulf countries. 

Trump informed via a post on social media platform Truth Social that he had stopped the military action at the urging of leaders from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and that serious negotiations are currently underway. 

Claiming to have been informed that a deal acceptable to the US would be reached, he expressed determination that Iran would not possess nuclear weapons under any circumstances. However, he also warned that if no acceptable deal is reached, the US is prepared to launch a full and large-scale attack on Iran at any moment. 

On the other hand, a senior Iranian military commander has warned the US against making strategic mistakes and miscalculations again.

According to a poll by New York Times/Siena published on Monday, 64 percent of voters considered the decision to go to war with Iran wrong. The survey showed that only 37 percent of voters approved of President Trump's performance. 

This survey highlights the significant challenge Republicans will face in the upcoming midterm elections, with growing public frustration over the war and dissatisfaction with Trump's approach to issues like the economy and immigration being the main reasons.

On February 28, Israeli and US forces launched a large-scale air attack on Iran, while Tehran retaliated by launching drones and missiles at Israeli and US targets in the Gulf region. In this matter, there is concern among the Arab countries of the Gulf about what kind of retaliation Iran might undertake if the US launches further attacks.

There is a fear that Iran has a large number of drones and missiles secured, and using them, it could re-initiate attacks on neighboring countries, their airports, petrochemical plants, and crucial plants supplying drinking water as the heat in the Gulf increases.
