President Donald Trump stated Sunday that he decided against ordering new American military strikes on Iran after receiving direct input from Gulf leaders. According to the reports, the U.S. president held off on the operation at the urging of allies including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, with Trump noting that a plan for the strikes had already been in place.
Additional reporting from an Associated Press source indicated that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman specifically urged Trump to avoid escalating the conflict with Iran while the U.S. leader was actively considering the new military actions.
