US President Donald Trump announced that a major military attack on Iran, initially planned for Tuesday, has been paused following requests from key Middle Eastern leaders, including the Emir of Qatar, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, and the President of the UAE.

The pause comes as ongoing peace talks in the region continue, with the aim of achieving an agreement that prevents Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

Trump instructed the US Secretary of War, top generals, and the military to be ready to launch a full-scale assault at a moment's notice if negotiations fail.This announcement follows recent discussions between Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Chinese President Xi Jinping.Iranian officials have indicated that the US has softened its stance in response to a new peace proposal communicated via Pakistan.

Despite the temporary halt, Trump warned that the US remains prepared to act swiftly, underscoring the fragile state of the ceasefire that has held for several weeks.

Analysts note that while the threat of military action looms, diplomatic channels remain active, reflecting the complex balance of caution and pressure in US-Iran relations.
