"Trump claimed the deal will make sure that Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons. He has made repeated claims about progress toward a deal since the war began, but there have been no recent breakthroughs."
"The President said he had instructed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine to suspend the attack plans but to be prepared to go forward “with a full, large scale assault of Iran, on a moment's notice, in the event that an acceptable Deal is not reached.”"
