Trump tells advisers he may hold off on Iran attacks barring new provocations, sources say

President Trump is considering delaying further military strikes on Iran, provided there are no new provocations, according to sources familiar with his recent national security meetings. Trump stated he could end the conflict immediately but prefers a more civil approach at the request of protected nations.

While the war has increased global fuel prices and faced domestic political backlash, a White House official emphasized that Trump remains the sole decision-maker regarding American interests. Trump has consulted with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, though he made no formal commitments.

Intelligence assessments suggest that current naval blockades and economic sanctions are effectively pressuring Tehran. Despite internal debates over potential strikes on underground nuclear facilities and concerns regarding depleted precision munition stockpiles, the administration maintains that the military is prepared to achieve its strategic goals.
