Last week, Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/07\/25\/us\/politics\/trump-iran-military.html\" target=\"undefined\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">reportedly<\/a> ditched plans to escalate the U.S. military campaign after advisers cautioned that such an offensive could put the Pentagon\u2019s munitions stockpile at dangerous levels. Still, at least publicly, Trump continued to threaten more attacks on Iran. On Friday, the President said U.S. forces \u201cwill be hitting them very hard, and you know at some point, they\u2019re going to say, \u2018We just can\u2019t take it anymore.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph-element\" class=\"rich-text mb-6 font-graphik text-body-large text-black-coffee mt-8 focus-visible:outline focus-visible:outline-black-coffee focus-visible:outline-2 focus-visible:outline-offset-2 focus-visible:shadow-focus-color text-left\">It appeared that the U.S. was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/world\/middle-east\/trump-sours-on-diplomacy-vows-to-hit-iran-hard-2c7af868\" target=\"undefined\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">planning a major attack<\/a>. On Saturday, the State Department issued new security alerts over the potential risk of escalation, and U.S. embassies in Jordan, Iraq, and Israel advised heightened caution.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph-element\" class=\"rich-text mb-6 font-graphik text-body-large text-black-coffee mt-8 focus-visible:outline focus-visible:outline-black-coffee focus-visible:outline-2 focus-visible:outline-offset-2 focus-visible:shadow-focus-color text-left\">Later that day, Trump said he had called off the attack at Iran\u2019s request.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph-element\" class=\"rich-text mb-6 font-graphik text-body-large text-black-coffee mt-8 focus-visible:outline focus-visible:outline-black-coffee focus-visible:outline-2 focus-visible:outline-offset-2 focus-visible:shadow-focus-color text-left\">But Iran disputed Trump\u2019s rationale for calling off the attack. Instead, Iranian officials suggested that the threat of further disruptions to global markets, including if Iran\u2019s proxies escalated attacks in other shipping routes, forced Trump to back down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Where things stand now Trump\u2019s announcement comes after he has publicly and privately mused about resuming full-scale operations&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":233811,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3],"tags":[34,310,355],"class_list":["post-233810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-iran","tag-iran","tag-news-desk","tag-overnight"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/117031230651842238","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=233810"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233810\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/233811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=233810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=233810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
