US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that the US had postponed a planned attack on Iran at the request of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Iran’s military has threatened to “open new fronts” against the United States if it resumes its attacks. A military spokesman made the comments after US President Donald Trump said the US had postponed an attack on the Islamic Republic planned for Tuesday.
“If the enemy is so unreasonable as to fall into the Zionist trap again and launch a new aggression against our beloved Iran, we will open new fronts against him, with new equipment and new methods,” the army spokesman said, according to Iran’s ISNA news agency.

A spokesman for Qatar’s foreign ministry said on Tuesday that Pakistan-brokered talks between the US and Iran needed more time to reach an agreement.
“We support the diplomatic efforts of Pakistan, which has shown seriousness in bringing the parties together and finding a solution, and we believe it needs more time,” the spokesman told a news conference.
“We want to protect the people of the region from basically being the main losers of the escalation,” he added.
