00:00U.S. President Donald Trump said he decided to hold off on a major U.S. attack on Iran planned
00:06for Tuesday
00:07after Washington's allies in the Gulf requested more time be given for diplomatic efforts.
00:13The announcement of a planned renewal to the hostilities comes after weeks of stalled progress in ongoing negotiations between the
00:21United States and Iran.
00:23They also follow numerous threats by Trump to hit Tehran once more if it failed to enter into a nuclear
00:29deal with Washington soon.
00:52Two or three days, a short period of time, because they think that they are getting very close to making
00:57a deal.
00:58The two warring sides have traded several counters to a proposal to end the war mediated by Pakistan,
01:04but according to negotiators, big differences are persisting and seem unlikely to break a stubborn impasse.
01:11The White House is seeking Iran's commitment to a complete abolishment of its nuclear ambitions,
01:16while Iran wants to maintain some of its nuclear infrastructure for what it says will be projects for civilian use.
01:25Trump has routinely warned that the war will not come to an end until Iran unconditionally agrees to never acquiring
01:31nuclear weapons
01:32and has expressed his country's readiness to fight for as long as it takes to achieve that.
