What was said

"Trump says that he paused a bombing campaign against Iran just an hour before it was supposed to begin at the request of several GCC nations."

Trump stated he halted a major military strike against Iran with only one hour to go before execution, allegedly at the request of Gulf Cooperation Council nations. The claim comes amid rising bond yields and economic pressure, with analysts suggesting Trump may be losing credibility faster than Iran in the standoff and that this could be America's Suez Canal moment—the point where U.S. military force can no longer back adversaries down.
