The New York Times reports that just before President Trump announced the cancellation of planned airstrikes on Iran, mediators in Pakistan informed him they had secured a deal. Separately, the Qatari Emir spoke with Trump about the latest developments, according to the source.
The New York Times has reported a new detail in the rapidly evolving US-Iran diplomatic saga, according to a single-source report circulated on Telegram. The report states that just before President Trump announced the cancellation of planned airstrikes on Iran, mediators in Pakistan informed him they had secured a deal. This follows a series of conflicting signals from Washington and Tehran over the past 24 hours.
The report also mentions that the Qatari Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, spoke with President Trump about the latest developments. This is consistent with earlier reports — as The Zioneer reported at 22:15 Jerusalem — that the Qatari Royal Court announced such a call had taken place to discuss diplomatic efforts to de-escalate regional tensions. At 22:13 Jerusalem, The Zioneer also reported that Trump canceled planned Iran strikes after an alleged Pakistani-mediated deal offer.
The claim is sourced solely to the cited the source relaying what it says is a New York Times report. No independent confirmation is yet available, and the terms of any alleged deal remain undisclosed. The development adds another layer to a thread that has seen Trump threaten strikes, call them off, and alternately express optimism and impatience toward diplomacy with Tehran.
