️🇺🇸🇸🇦🇮🇷 Axius: Saudi officials asked President Trump not to rush into renewed military action against Iran and allow regional mediators more time to pursue an agreement, according to a US official.
Qatar is leading the mediation effort, with the support of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey. One proposal would see Iran restore UN inspections of damaged nuclear facilities in exchange for limited sanctions relief and access to frozen funds.
US and Israeli officials believe a major bombing campaign could begin after the midterm elections if diplomacy fails. Trump told Axius that the issue must be resolved "through a deal or some other way."
