US President Donald Trump on Iran and calls from the Gulf states to delay further military action:
"Saudi Arabia asked me to please just let it be as it is now for a while because they are crumbling. Qatar, if you look at it, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, they all much prefer the waiting period. We hit them with a big economic hit and they look, they have 300% more than that of inflation.
They have no money. They did not pay their guard. They did not pay their soldiers. They did not pay their police. This is a nation that is in serious trouble. They asked me to do that. The heater. And I do that. I’m not sure I agree with that. But we took them very much. As you know, their fleet disappeared, their air force disappeared, their negotiations disappeared, everything disappeared. In fact, their leaders largely disappeared. Their leaders disappeared. ".
