Trump pauses Iran military action after calls from Qatar, UAE and Pakistan leaders

Donald Trump temporarily shelved military action against Iran after leaders from Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan made a last-minute effort to change his mind, Politico reported, citing officials and a diplomat. The outreach came after Trump warned on Thursday morning local time that he would take “very tough measures” against Iran “tonight.” The leaders reportedly said a preliminary agreement was within reach, and Trump later said a deal could be signed this weekend. Iran, however, said major issues remained unresolved, including transit through the Strait of Hormuz and access to more than $16 billion in frozen funds.
