"We Will Be Hitting Them Very Hard... Just Kidding"

 

"I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL," the president wrote on his Truth Social account.

President Trump said Saturday night that he has called off a potential attack on Iran due to progress in negotiations between the two nations.

The big picture: There had been indications from some U.S. officials that an attack on Iran's infrastructure was possible, all in an effort to get the Iranians to agree to the U.S.' terms in ceasefire negotiations.

What they're saying: "I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL," the president wrote on his Truth Social account.

• Trump added that Iran and "other Middle Eastern Countries" had asked the U.S. to hold off on attacking "in that the perimeters of a deal had been agreed to."
• "This would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran's nuclear threat," he wrote.

Zoom out: Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Trump spoke on Saturday, with MBS expressing concern over the strike plans, Axios' Barak Ravid and Marc Caputo reported hours before the president's social media post.

• Other regional powers, including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey and Pakistan, have also pressed the U.S. and Iran to de-escalate.

Between the lines: An attack on Iran's infrastructure and energy sites would escalate the war that the president has repeatedly pressed pause on in order to negotiate with Iran, only for strikes to resume when diplomacy appeared stalled.

• Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned off the U.S. and Israel — which was expected to join the U.S. in a large-scale strike — from any further action.
• "Any hostile action by the U.S. or Israel — or participation or cooperation by regional countries in such actions — would be met with a decisive and proportionate response from Iran's powerful armed forces," Araghchi said to Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Faisal Bin Farhan Bin Abdullah Al Saud, per a post on Araghchi's Telegram channel.

The USA Will Pay A Steep Price For This Clown's Presidency:

The Core Threat: Total Elimination

• The "Vanish" Warning: Trump issued a definitive final warning stating that the Islamic Republic could “completely vanish” and “no longer exist” if it persists in violating truces or threatening international maritime traffic. [1]
• The "Built Back" Warning: He declared that subsequent U.S. operations would target infrastructure so severely that it would be “virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again.” [1]
• “Death, Fire, and Fury”: Trump utilized some of his most severe rhetorical framing, warning that “Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them” if they disrupt global supply lines. [1]

Strategic & Infrastructure Ultimatums

• The 48-Hour Power Plant Ultimatum: Trump issued an explicit 48-hour deadline demanding that Iran fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Failure to comply would result in the U.S. military obliterating Iran's various power plants, “starting with the biggest one first!” [1]
• “Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day”: Escalating the infrastructure threat, Trump warned of a coordinated campaign to systematically level the country's power grids and transit bridges, stating the Iranian regime would be left “living in Hell.” [1]
• The "Twenty Times Harder" Rule: Trump warned that any action halting oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz would cause the U.S. to strike back “TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far.” [1]

Operational & Diplomatic Warnings

• Hhitting Until "They Can't Take It anymore": Following a thwarted Iranian attack on a U.S. base in Jordan and consecutive nights of heavy U.S. bombing, Trump told reporters that the U.S. will continue hitting Iran “very hard” until they submit.
• No Patience for "Lies": Trump openly expressed that he was “losing faith” in indirect diplomatic negotiations, publicly accusing Tehran of using talks to lie and misrepresent their intentions.
• The Conditional Pause: Trump warned that his decision to halt a massive, coordinated U.S.-Israeli strike targeting Iranian energy infrastructure is strictly temporary. The pause remains entirely conditional on Iran “rapidly” finalizing a comprehensive deal that includes the permanent, threat-free opening of the Strait of Hormuz and a complete end to its nuclear program.
