Trump says Gulf countries including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE asked the U.S. to delay any military action against Iran for 2–3 days, believing a possible agreement is still on the table.

Speaking on May 20, Trump revealed the U.S. was ready for a “major” strike on Iran on the 19th, but the operation was postponed as negotiations continue behind the scenes.

He also mentioned that talks with Iran are showing some positive signs, while Gulf allies are trying to help push both sides toward a deal. However, Trump warned that the situation remains uncertain and could still change at any moment.
