I HAVE INSTRUCTED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO POSTPONE ANY AND ALL MILITARY STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN POWER PLANTS AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FIVE DAY PERIOD, SUBJECT TO THE SUCCESS OF THE ONGOING MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS.

UAE air defences are currently responding to incoming missile and drone threats from Iran.

Whatever your view of Iran, this war is not of their making.

This is already causing widespread economic problems and I fear they promise to get much worse if the war continues.

Oman is working intensively to put in place safe passage arrangements for the Strait of Hormuz.

There is no direct or indirect connection with Trump; he retreated after hearing that our targets would be all power plants in West Asia.

There have been initiatives by regional countries to reduce tensions, and our response to all of them is clear: we are not the party that started this war, and all such requests should be directed to Washington.

This is regime change because it is totally different people.

We are working to bring Iran to places it has never been before.

They will understand that they are below, and we are above.

Mr. Witkoff and Mr. Kushner had them. They went, I would say, perfectly.

I would say that if they carry through with that, it’ll end that problem, that conflict—and I think it’ll end it very, very substantially.

The discussions took place yesterday. They went into yesterday evening. They want very much to make a deal. We’d like to make a deal, too.

We’re going to get together today—probably by phone, because it’s very hard to find a country. It’s very hard for them to get out, I guess.

But we will, at some point very, very soon, meet.

We're doing a five day period. We'll see how that goes.

If it goes well, we're gonna end up with settling this, otherwise we just keep bombing our little hearts out.
