Trump listened to his allies and did not strike Iran

They also told Donald Trump that a preliminary agreement, which actually brings the parties closer to more detailed negotiations, is almost ready.
According to insiders, the head of the White House called the Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the President of the UAE Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and the Head of the Ministry of Defense of Pakistan Asim Munir.
