— I was an hour away from deciding to attack Iran – Donald Trump said on Tuesday, quoted by Reuters.
The US president stated that he had finally decided to postpone the offensive, but if negotiations fail, the United States will attack Iran in the coming days.
— [To będą] two or three days, maybe Friday, Saturday, Sunday, something like that. [Dajemy im] limited time, until the beginning of next week. We cannot allow them to have new nuclear weapons, he stressed.
Iran on the agreement with the USA. Tehran presented the conditions
The chairman of the national security committee of the Iranian parliament, Ebrahim Azizi, also spoke on the matter. The politician stated in a post on the X platform that the halt to the attack was due to Donald Trump's realization that any move against Iran would mean “facing a decisive military response”.
Iranian state media reported that Tehran's latest peace proposal assumes an end to hostilities on all fronts, including LebanonInywithdrawal of American forces from areas close to Iran and reparations for damage caused by US-Israeli attacks.
Tehran also demands the lifting of sanctions, release of frozen funds and ending the naval blockade — said Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Garibabadi, quoted by the IRNA news agency.
This means that the conditions are not much different from Tehran's previous offer, which Donald Trump rejected last week, calling it “garbage,” Reuters notes.
Negotiations between the US and Iran. There are details
The parties are constantly changing their demands – sources in Pakistan, which acts as an intermediary in the talks, told Reuters. — We don't have much time – added the informant.

A ceasefire was reached in April. On Tuesday, the US administration imposed sanctions on an Iranian currency exchange office and companies that, according to Donald Trump, were shells actually supervising transactions on behalf of Iranian banks.
