CBS’ Brennan: Trump’s Threat to Massively Escalate Attacks on Iran Set Off a Diplomatic Scramble with U.S. Allies Urging Him to Back Off Plans

‘Trump later said military action at levels unseen since World War II remains an option but is on hold because the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to’

RUSH EXCERPT:
BRENNAN: "President Trump’s threat to massively escalate attacks on Iran set up a diplomatic scramble on Saturday American allies, including the Saudi crown prince, urged the president to back off plans to bomb Iran’s energy infrastructure. Late last night Trump said military action at levels unseen since world. War to remained an option but he’s holding off for now at the request of allies as well as Iran, because he claimed there was a diplomatic opportunity or, as he put it quote, the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to this morning. Diplomatic sources tell me that there is no deal yet, but rather signs of progress to awards an arrangement with Iran to reopen the street. The challenge remains just how much leverage Iran will maintain over it"
