After Trump threatened to attack Iran, a scramble to stop him
President Trump threatened to attack Iran but reversed his decision after calls from Gulf and South Asian leaders, including Qatar's Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and Pakistan's defense chief Asim Munir. Iran stated it had not finalized an agreement and maintained its red lines, while U.S. officials suggested a deal might focus on reopening the Strait of Hormuz rather than immediate nuclear negotiations.
