Trump tells advisers he may hold off on new Iran strikes if there are no new provocations, Reuters reports; "We don't need a deal with Iran," he posts
President Trump has told senior advisers in recent days he may hold off on attacking Iran if the U.S. faces no new provocations from Tehran or the Houthis in Yemen, Reuters reported, citing three people familiar with the matter, while a third aircraft carrier moves into the Middle East and the military stays ready to escalate. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan both urged him not to resume attacks, sources said; a White House official said "Only President Trump knows what he will do, and when." On Thursday Trump wrote on Truth Social, "We don't need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed," Fox News reported.
