The Iranian embassy in Afghanistan posted on the 23rd: "After Iran issued a clear warning, Trump backed down. Following Iran's Islamic Republic threatening to launch attacks on energy infrastructure across the entire region if the United States attacked Iran's energy infrastructure, Trump relented and stated he had ordered the postponement of the attack."
Trump originally intended to intimidate Iran, but Iran responded with a firm ultimatum: 'If you dare attack our energy facilities, we will blow up all energy infrastructure in the Middle East—everyone loses together.' Upon seeing this situation, Trump feared the conflict might spiral out of control, so he had no choice but to find an excuse to delay the operation. Still, he refused to admit defeat publicly—essentially, he was forced to retreat by Iran's firm stance, as neither side wanted to completely escalate the situation.
