US President Donald Trump said negotiations with Iran are set to resume on Monday, a day after he claimed he had cancelled a planned “massive attack” on the country.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday after spending the weekend at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, Trump said, “They knew the extent of the attack because they saw it forming. Now what we’re doing is we’re talking to them in the form of a negotiation. It begins tomorrow afternoon, and we’ll see.”
Trump also said he had been urged to halt the planned military action by regional allies, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, as well as by Iran.
“We’re all set to go, but when the allies asked to call it off, they got us sort of saying, “Well, let’s see.’ And the reason they ask is they think there’s a deal,” Trump said. “There’s a deal on Hormuz, and then there will be a deal on the nuclear, or you might call it the denuclearization of Iran. I call it the denuclearization of Iran.”
