US President Donald\u00a0Trump<\/a>\u00a0on Monday (local time) said that he has \u201cput off\u201d a planned attack on Iran for a short period amid \u201cbig discussions\u201d with the country over the ongoing West Asia crisis.Speaking to reporters,\u00a0Trump<\/a>\u00a0said that Saudi Arabia,\u00a0Qatar<\/a>, United Arab Emirates and some other countries had requested the US to delay the action for a few days as they believed negotiations were close to yielding a deal.\u201dI put it (attack on Iran) off for a little while, hopefully maybe forever, but possibly for a little while because we\u2019ve had very big discussions with Iran and we\u2019ll see what they amount to. I was asked by Saudi Arabia,\u00a0Qatar<\/a>, UAE and some others if we could put it off for two or three days, a short period of time, because they think that they are getting very close to making a deal\u2026It\u2019s a very positive development, but we\u2019ll see whether or not it amounts to anything,\u201d said President\u00a0Trump<\/a>.Reflecting on his recent China visit and conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping,\u00a0Trump<\/a>\u00a0said, \u201cPresident Xi was very complimentary of our military\u2026We have the greatest military in the world. We\u2019re not going to let Iran have a nuclear weapon.\u201dHe further stated that multiple countries were directly engaging with US officials and Iran in an effort to resolve the situation diplomatically. \u201cI was called by these three countries, plus others, and they\u2019re dealing directly with our people and right now, 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 will be very happy,\u201d said\u00a0Trump<\/a>.Meanwhile, the United States Central Command on Monday said that it continues to strictly enforce the US blockade against Iranian ports.\u201dCENTCOM continues to strictly enforce the U.S. blockade against Iranian ports. U.S. forces have now redirected 85 commercial vessels to ensure full compliance,\u201d CENTCOM said in a post on X.Earlier, President\u00a0Trump<\/a>\u00a0turned down Iran\u2019s peace proposal to stop the ongoing West Asia crisis, saying that it falls short of expectations and does not represent any meaningful progress towards a deal, according to Axios, citing a senior US official and a source briefed on the matter.The development comes at a sensitive moment, with Washington weighing both diplomatic and military options as tensions over Iran\u2019s nuclear programme continue to escalate. US officials say President Donald\u00a0Trump<\/a>\u00a0is still seeking a negotiated settlement but is increasingly frustrated by Tehran\u2019s refusal to accept what Washington considers essential concessions.Iran\u2019s latest counter-proposal was reportedly delivered on Sunday night through Pakistani mediators. According to a senior US official quoted by Axios, the revised text contains only limited changes compared to previous submissions. (ANI)<\/p>\n
