Trump Holds Fire on Iran Strikes, Eyes Diplomatic Deal Amid Rising Tensions - Aquila Telegram
President Donald Trump has delayed potential U.S. military strikes against Iran, signaling openness to negotiations as Tehran shows willingness to talk. This comes after weeks of escalating rhetoric, protests in Iran, and a massive U.S. naval buildup in the region.
Trump recently deployed a "large armada," including the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group, to the Middle East, describing it as a show of strength while hoping it remains unused.
He considered limited strikes earlier this month in response to Iran's crackdown on protesters but held back after reports of halted executions and advice from allies like Israel.
U.S. officials continue preparations, including exercises by CENTCOM, keeping military options viable.
In interviews, Trump stated Iran has "reached out multiple times" and "wants to make a deal," with a senior official confirming the White House is "open for business" if terms are met. Key U.S. demands include removing Iran's enriched uranium stockpile, capping long-range missiles, ending support for proxies like Hezbollah and Houthis, and banning independent enrichment.
Iran denies execution plans and insists on retaining enrichment rights, but channels via envoy Steve Witkoff remain active.
Allies like Saudi Arabia refuse to host attacks, while Iranian commanders warn neighbors against aiding U.S. actions.
Domestically, hawkish advisors push for firmness, but Trump prioritizes avoiding prolonged conflict.
Protests in Iran have eased, weakening the regime per U.S. intelligence, potentially aiding talks.
