🔻Reuters: Trump told his advisers he may delay new attacks on Iran Reuters news agency, in an exclusive report quoting three informed sources, wrote that Donald Trump, the president of the United States, in recent days has told his senior advisers that if Iran or Tehran-backed Houthis in Yemen do not carry out fresh provocative actions, he may delay new attacks against Iran. According to Reuters, Donald Trump raised the issue in meetings with his national security advisers and after receiving intelligence briefings. However, current and former U.S. officials said it does not appear that he has yet made a final decision on how to end the war with Iran. Reuters also quoted informed sources as saying that Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi crown prince, and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the president of Turkey, in telephone calls with Trump asked him not to resume attacks on Iran. According to these sources, the U.S. president did not make any commitment in these talks. Based on the report, U.S. intelligence agencies have assessed that renewed attacks on Iran are unlikely to create any significant change in Tehran’s demands in negotiations. Still, the U.S. military remains prepared to escalate military operations if necessary. A White House official, in response to Reuters, said that Donald Trump is the only decision-maker regarding U.S. military actions and that “only President Trump knows what he will do and when.”
