Trump announced he was giving Iran “two or three more days”

US President Donald Trump told reporters that he was close to ordering a May 19 strike against Iran yesterday. According to him, “there was one hour left before the decision to start the operation was made.”

At the same time, the US President repeated that the Iranian leadership is “begging for a deal,” but if it is not reached in the coming days, hostilities will resume.

Continuing the conversation, Trump clarified that he was giving Iran “two or three days” to return to negotiations. “I’m talking about two or three days. It could be Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or maybe the beginning of next week. A limited period of time, because we can’t allow them to get nuclear weapons.”

The night before, US President Donald Trump announced on the Truth Social social network that he had canceled a military strike against Iran planned for May 19 at the request of the Emir of Qatar, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and the President of the UAE.

According to Trump, the leaders of the three countries asked him to refrain from attacking because “serious negotiations are currently underway” and, in their opinion, “a deal will be reached and it will be acceptable to the United States, as well as to all countries in the Middle East.”

At the same time, The Wall Street Journal cited official sources in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar, who claimed that they knew nothing about plans for an immediate attack.
