US President Trump stated on the 19th that the United States may once again launch a heavy blow against Iran.
At the construction site for the renovation project of the East Wing Banquet Hall of the White House, he pointed out to the media that the US has forced Iran to come to the negotiating table. Iran wants to reach an agreement, "I hope we don't have to take further action, but we may have to strike them hard once again... At the moment I'm not sure, but you'll know soon."
He stated that on the 18th, "for just one more hour," he would have ordered a strike against Iran, but US allies in the Gulf region requested him to temporarily hold off on implementing the plan.
He said that several Gulf countries informed him that, under the mediation of Pakistan, negotiations aimed at reaching a peace agreement were making progress. He would allow at least two to three more days of limited time for the dialogue to continue.
On the 18th, Trump posted on social media that, at the request of the leaders of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, he had ordered the postponement of the military strike against Iran originally scheduled for the 19th.
