President Trump held a call on Saturday with leaders from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey and Pakistan to discuss the war with Iran. He indicated a decision on whether to resume military action would likely come by Sunday.

Earlier reporting noted that Trump had described a possible peace deal with Iran as “largely negotiated.”

Trump said that it's a 'solid 50/50' whether he’ll be able to make a 'good' deal to end the war with Iran or have to 'blow them to kingdom come.'
