Donald Trump explained that the decision not to attack Iran in 2019 was made after direct appeals from the leaders of the Persian Gulf countries. The former US president disclosed the details during an interview, stressing the importance of diplomacy at the time.<\/p>\n

What Donald Trump said<\/h2>\n

During the interview, US President Donald Trump<\/strong> said that in 2019, he decided not to launch an air strike on Iran at the request of the leaders of the Persian Gulf countries. According to Bloomberg<\/a>, The then head of the White House received direct appeals from allies in the region urging him to avoid escalation.<\/p>\n

Trump stressed that it was the warnings from the Gulf states that influenced his decision. He noted that the region's leaders feared a large-scale conflict that could erupt in the event of an American military response to Iran's actions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Context of events in 2019<\/h2>\n

In June 2019, the situation in the Middle East deteriorated sharply after Iran shot down an American drone. The United States considered retaliating, but according to Trump, he abandoned this step at the very last minute.<\/p>\n

The events of that time caused concern in many countries in the region, as any military operation could lead to a large-scale conflict with unpredictable consequences for energy markets and stability in the Persian Gulf.<\/p>\n

Reaction of the Gulf states<\/h2>\n

Leaders of the Persian Gulf states<\/a>, according to Trump, asked him not to respond to Iran's actions with force. They stressed that an escalation could jeopardise the security of the entire region, including key oil routes.<\/p>\n

Such appeals demonstrate the complex diplomatic game around the Iranian issue, when even traditional US allies called for restraint, fearing destabilisation and economic losses.<\/p>\n

Why it matters<\/h2>\n

Trump's decision not to strike Iran at the request of the Gulf states underscores the influence of regional allies on US foreign policy. Such events demonstrate how diplomatic appeals can change the course of history and prevent major military conflicts. At the same time, it highlights the difficulty of balancing security, allied interests, and global stability in strategically important regions.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
