He said that the heads of Middle Eastern countries requested a delay to allow negotiations to take place.
President Donald Trump announced on Monday that the military strikes planned for the following day would be paused after speaking with Middle Eastern leaders.
President Trump stated, “I have been asked by the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, and the President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to hold off on our planned Military attack of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which was scheduled for tomorrow, in that serious negotiations are now taking place, and that, in their opinion, as Great Leaders and Allies, a Deal will be made, which will be very acceptable to the United States of America, as well as all Countries in the Middle East, and beyond.”
The president continued, “This Deal will include, importantly, NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR IRAN! Based on my respect for the above mentioned Leaders, I have instructed Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, The Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Daniel Caine, and The United States Military, that we will NOT be doing the scheduled attack of Iran tomorrow, but have further instructed them to be prepared to go forward with a full, large scale assault of Iran, on a moment’s notice, in the event that an acceptable Deal is not reached.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For wisdom for President Trump as he engages with foreign heads of state and responds to their requests.
- For the president to seek the Lord’s guidance as he serves as commander-in-chief of the U.S. military.
- For the president’s military and diplomatic advisors as they provide recommendations.
