US President Donald Trump announced that he is postponing a planned military attack on Iran that was scheduled for Tuesday after requests from Gulf leaders and amid renewed negotiations with Tehran. Trump made the announcement Monday on his Truth Social platform shortly after Iran confirmed it had responded to a new US proposal aimed at ending the ongoing conflict. The president said he would “hold off on our planned Military attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran, which was scheduled for tomorrow.”&nbsp;According to Trump, leaders from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates urged him to delay the strike because “serious negotiations are now taking place.”The Gulf nations believe “a Deal will be made” that includes “NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR IRAN!” Trump added. Trump also said he had informed the US military “that we will NOT be doing the scheduled attack of Iran tomorrow.” However, he warned that military action could resume if talks fail. “I have further instructed them to be prepared to go forward with a full, large-scale assault of Iran, on a moment’s notice, if an acceptable Deal is not reached,” he said.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/at-least-100-die-in-dr-congo-due-to-ebola-outbreak-six-americans-exposed-cdc-takes-steps-to-prevent-spread-1779130402880">At least 100 die in DR Congo due to Ebola outbreak, six Americans exposed; CDC takes steps to prevent spread</a>

In recent days, Trump has intensified pressure on Iran following his return from China, where he met President Xi Jinping. Late Sunday, Trump warned that the ‘clock is ticking’ and threatened that “there won’t be anything left” of Iran if no agreement is reached. The United States and Israel have been engaged in conflict with Iran since joint military strikes were launched in late February, escalating tensions across the Middle East and driving global energy prices higher.&nbsp;Efforts to end the war have made little progress, with the two sides holding only one round of talks in Pakistan despite a temporary ceasefire reached in April. Iran’s Fars news agency reported Sunday that Washington submitted a five-point proposal demanding that Iran operate only one nuclear site and transfer its stockpile of highly enriched uranium to the US. According to the report, Tehran’s response emphasized that Iran would continue managing the strategic Strait of Hormuz.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/the-magnetic-mystery-inside-bees-scientists-unlock-bee-navigation-secret-1779123644611/embed">https://www.wionews.com/videos/the-magnetic-mystery-inside-bees-scientists-unlock-bee-navigation-secret-1779123644611/embed</a>&nbsp;This critical global energy route has remained largely closed since the war started. On Monday, the newly formed Persian Gulf Strait Authority announced it would provide real-time updates on X regarding developments and operations in the waterway. Trump has insisted that Iran must reopen the Strait of Hormuz as part of any future agreement.&nbsp;Disclaimer: WION takes utmost care to accurately and responsibly report ongoing conflicts in West Asia involving Israel, Iran, the US, Gulf nations, and non-state actors like Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, Islamic State, and others.

Trump says holding off planned military attack on Iran at request of Gulf leaders; issues fresh warning

Oslo: Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre hailed a “great day” for economic relations with India following talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, while expressing solidarity with New Delhi over the issue of cross-border terrorism.&nbsp;Støre emphasised the strengthening partnership between the two nations, particularly through a new Green Strategic Partnership focused on clean energy, carbon capture, and renewable storage. He highlighted the recently signed free trade agreement with the EFTA countries (Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Iceland), describing it as “very forward-looking” and “ambitious”.&nbsp;&nbsp;“There has been a great interest in investing in India, which is good for Indian jobs, Indian welfare, but also for Norwegian jobs,” Støre said. He pointed to India’s “young population [and] very dynamic economy” as drivers for a bold target of $100 billion in investments, noting “unity of purpose” despite challenges like bureaucracy and technical standards. An EFTA desk has been established in India to resolve issues for businesses.&nbsp;On geopolitics, the leaders discussed the wars in Ukraine and the West Asia. In response to the question of India importing energy from Russia, Støre stressed respect for “historical ties” between Delhi and Moscow.&nbsp;“India is a huge country [with] needs for its energy supplies... something for Norway being an energy exporter,” he said. However, he called for more “pressure” on Moscow. “In order to end this horrendous war in Ukraine, which is killing people, destroying so much... there has to be more pressure on Russia to come to the table.”&nbsp;&nbsp;He added that he hoped India would use its channels with Russian leadership “to get a ceasefire going”. Støre noted shared objectives with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on ending the conflict, despite differing perspectives rooted in geography, Norway as a NATO neighbour to Russia.&nbsp;Addressing terrorism, Støre offered firm support for India, which sees itself as a victim of cross-border attacks from Pakistan. On Pahalgam terror attack by Pakistan-trained terrorists, PM Modi thanked Norway for support.&nbsp;&nbsp;“We have to take a very firm position against any kind of terror... We express solidarity with countries and populations who experience terror. We have to stand together against it,” PM Støre stated, drawing parallels to Norway’s own past experiences.&nbsp;The two sides also explored Arctic cooperation. Støre welcomed India’s growing scientific role in climate research, which he said benefits India itself.&nbsp;“We wish to see that India with its science... can also be part of the research on Arctic climate,” he added.

 Norwegian PM Jonas Gahr Støre emphasised the strengthening partnership between the two nations, particularly through a new Green Strategic Partnership focused on clean energy, carbon capture, and renewable storage. He highlighted the recently signed trade agreement with EFTA countries.
