Trump suspends Iran strikes, says US ready if situation changes

dn.pt (Portuguese) —

Donald Trump announced Monday night that US military action against Iran does not appear necessary at this time, though he stated the US is ready to fight if the situation changes. Trump said he believes the conflict with Iran will end soon, while maintaining the naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz. He cited requests from neighboring countries including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait for the decision. The announcement follows Trump's meeting with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani at the White House. Al-Thani will meet European powers and Saudi Arabia Tuesday during the G7 foreign ministers' meeting in Paris to discuss the Iranian crisis.
