Trump Delays Iran Strike to Give Talks More Time
(Washington Post) Cleve R. Wootson Jr. - President Donald Trump said Monday that he had tentatively called off plans for the U.S. military to attack Iran on Tuesday after the heads of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE asked him to give negotiations more time. Trump told reporters that the leaders had asked him to hold off on an attack for "two or three days - a short period of time." Trump said the Arab leaders told him negotiations were on the brink of a breakthrough that "will be very acceptable to the United States" and that will ensure Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons.
