Saudi, Qatar, Oman convinced Trump to 'give Iran a chance'
Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman led efforts to talk U.S. President Donald Trump out of an attack on Iran, fearing "grave blowbacks in the region", a senior Saudi official told AFP on Thursday.
The Gulf trio "led a long, frantic, diplomatic last-minute effort to convince President Trump to give Iran a chance to show good intention", the official said, on condition of anonymity.
"Communication is still under way to consolidate gained trust and current good spirit," he added.
