Following a report from CNN, President Donald Trump said he will hold off on attacking Iran while diplomatic talks continue, leaving a military option on the table but pausing immediate action.
The White House has been weighing renewed attack plans after Iran resumed uranium enrichment, a step that has raised concern among U.S. officials and regional allies. Trump said the United States is still prepared to act if talks fail, but he suggested there is still room for a negotiated outcome.
The situation remains tense. U.S. officials have argued that Iran’s nuclear activity cannot be allowed to move forward unchecked, while Iran has long said its program is for civilian purposes.
For now, the focus appears to be on diplomacy. Leaders in the Gulf have urged more time for talks, reflecting broader concern that a strike could trigger a wider conflict across the region.
Trump’s comments do not remove the threat of military action. They mark a pause as negotiations continue.
