About this video

U.S. President Donald Trump said he is holding off on a supposedly planned military strike on Iran at the request of several allies in the Middle East because “serious negotiations” are underway.
 
Trump said he had planned “a very major attack” for Tuesday but put it off — “for a little while, hopefully, maybe forever." The Republican leader said America’s allies in the Gulf asked him to wait for two to three days because they feel they are close to a deal with Iran.
 
“There seems to be a very good chance that they can work something out. If we can do that without bombing the hell out of them, I’d be very happy,” Trump said at the White House on Monday.
