United States President Donald Trump said that leaders of the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar urged him to delay a potential attack on Iran for 'two or three days,' saying they believe a diplomatic agreement is close. He described their message as a sign that negotiations may be nearing a breakthrough.

Trump said he informed Israel before announcing the decision to postpone the strike, calling the development positive but cautioning that the outcome remains uncertain. He added that 'we'll have to see what happens' as talks continue.
