He explained that the decision came at the request of “the Emir of Qatar, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, and the President of the United Arab Emirates.” Earlier, Trump had reacted to Tehran’s latest response to U.S. proposals by saying that he had no intention of offering any concessions to Iran. He also warned that Iran knows “what will happen very soon.” On Monday, Iran announced that it had responded to a new U.S. proposal aimed at ending the war, adding that discussions between the two sides are still ongoing. In his latest message, Trump wrote that “because serious negotiations are underway, and because our great leaders and allies believe an agreement can be reached that will also be highly acceptable to the United States,” he has decided to delay the military operation that had been planned for Tuesday. Trump added: “Out of respect for the leaders I mentioned above, I have instructed the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the United States Armed Forces that we will not carry out tomorrow’s attack. However, I have told them to remain fully and immediately prepared to launch a complete and large-scale strike if an acceptable agreement is not reached.” Trump Says He Will Not Offer Concessions to Tehran Responding to Tehran’s latest reply to U.S. proposals, the U.S. president said Monday evening that he would not offer any concessions to Iran. A reporter for the New York Post wrote on X that Trump, speaking after receiving what he described as “Iran’s latest disappointing response” to U.S. proposals, stressed that he would not make concessions to Tehran.
