Washington — President Trump said Monday that he's called off a U.S. attack on Iran that had been "scheduled" for Tuesday, after the United States' Gulf partners requested it to allow for continued negotiations. The president made the announcement Monday afternoon on Truth Social, following a request from the leaders of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Iran says it has relayed an amended set of terms for a possible deal to the Trump administration, through Pakistani mediators.
Main Idea: President Donald Trump said he called off a planned U.S. attack on Iran after Gulf leaders asked for more time for talks.
