[67415] Donald Trump claims: We were just one hour away from a military strike in Iran

Trump reveals: Preventing a military strike against Iran at the last moment

In a series of statements released on May 19, 2026, former US President Donald Trump revealed that his administration was close to executing a military strike against Iran but decided to pause the operation at the last moment. According to reports on Telegram channels associated with Iranian and regional actors such as اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری and خبر فوری جنگ ایران, Trump stated that "we were just one hour away from the strike, everything was ready."

According to reports on خبر فوری جنگ ایران and خبرفوری جنگ🚨اخبارفوری امریکا فوری, Trump explained that the decision to halt the move was made after he received an appeal from actors in the region who claimed they were on the verge of an agreement. According to him, they said to him: "Sir, could you wait? We think we are close to an agreement."

Trump noted on خبرفوری جنگ🚨اخبارفوری امریکا فوری that he agreed to the request, although he expressed skepticism regarding the chances of the negotiations' success, based on past attempts. The reporting channels - which sometimes tend to emphasize narratives of military and diplomatic strength against the West - placed great emphasis on the claim that it was a last-minute change intended to prevent a large-scale military confrontation.

These statements also received wide resonance in additional channels such as کافه سیاست 🖤 and حامیان پزشکیان, which presented the matter as evidence of the parties' actual proximity to all-out war last Monday. The news sparked great interest on social media, with almost 100,000 cumulative views on the various reports, a fact indicating the sensitivity of the issue among the public in Iran and in the regional arena.
