- Trump: Negotiations with Iran begin tomorrow afternoon
- Trump announces that Iran found out just how terrifying his planned strikes were, and immediately begged him to stop "It would've been the biggest attack since World War II. It would've been disastrous for them. They didn't want us to do it. Frankly, Saudi Arabia didn't want it either.""They KNEW the extent of the attack, because they saw it FORMING.""Negotiations begin tomorrow afternoon.""I don't even think it would've been buildable back."
- Trump: "I was asked to by Saudi Arabia, by UAE, and by Qatar, and by Iran. We were all set to go, just about at this time right now, and it would've been a massive attack... The reason they asked [to call it off] is they think there's a deal. There's a deal on Hormuz and then there will be a deal on the denuclearization of Iran... So, we're holding it. We'll just see."
- Israel has expressed concern to the United States about Hamas' disarmament plan, Prime Minister Netanyahu's spokesman told Reuters
- N12: In the hours preceding Trump's announcement, Israel tried to find out through CENTCOM what Trump was planning - and even there they could not tell them that the president was preparing to cancel the attack
- Israeli Defense officials on the cancellation of the American attack on Iran: "For hours, we were in real uncertainty. President Trump left us in the dark. The feeling was simple - they forgot us behind"
- Iranian Foreign Ministry: American threats are nothing new, we ignore them. Tehran acts in accordance with its interests and is not affected by threats. The opposing side knows that our response will be strong to any adventure it undertakes against us
- Wall Street Journal: Gulf states are frustrated by the lack of a US strategy against Iran. US allies in the Gulf have asked Washington to provide them with more air defense missiles, and to ensure that the US military will protect them if the exchange of blows continues
-The Americans were surprised by the continued elimnation in Gaza. Israel, they said, had accepted the conditions, including the cessation of targeted elimnstions, so that Hamas would be committed to the next step — handing over its weapons. “These are the fruits of eight months of negotiations designed to bring about the demilitarization of Gaza — why continue the elimnation now and give them an excuse to withdraw?" the sources said. “This further isolates Israel in the Middle East, as all the mediating countries see this as proof that Bibi does not keep his word or is interested in peace."
