U.S. President Donald Trump called off military strikes against Iran after receiving warnings from the Pentagon about Tehran's improved air defense capabilities. Trump revealed he was 'an hour away' from executing the strikes but opted to pause to allow for ongoing negotiations aimed at maintaining a fragile ceasefire. He mentioned that leaders from Gulf countries urged him to hold off on military action as serious talks were underway. Despite these diplomatic efforts, reports indicate that negotiations are not progressing well, with U.S. officials describing the situation as 'very serious.' Iran has submitted a new peace proposal, which does not address nuclear issues, leading to skepticism from U.S. officials. Trump emphasized that he would not accept a deal without incorporating nuclear negotiations, highlighting the complexities of reaching an agreement. Meanwhile, an Iranian source criticized U.S. demands, asserting that Iran will not agree to end hostilities in exchange for nuclear commitments. The situation remains tense, with both sides facing significant challenges in their diplomatic efforts.
