U.S. President Donald Trump has decided to postpone new military strikes against Iran and allow diplomatic negotiations additional time, U.S. officials confirmed on May 22.
In a meeting with senior national security advisors, the president indicated he would not proceed with immediate action but instead grant the diplomatic process more leeway. Officials stated that the American leader reserved the right to launch targeted operations should negotiations fail to yield an acceptable resolution.
Trump abruptly ended his weekend trip to New Jersey on May 22 to prepare for a potential new wave of strikes against Iran. Military and intelligence personnel also canceled their leisure plans in anticipation of possible hostilities.
Iranian forces have prepared comprehensive response scenarios for anticipated U.S. attacks, military sources reported. These preparations encompass both technical and strategic aspects, with Iranian officials actively monitoring the situation.
