WASHINGTON—President Trump bucked most of his top national-security advisers by abandoning retaliatory strikes in Iran on Thursday. In private conversations Friday, Mr. Trump reveled in his judgment, certain about his decision to call off the attacks while speaking of his administration as if removed from the center of it.

“These people want to push us into a war, and it’s so disgusting,” Mr. Trump told one confidant about his own inner circle of advisers. “We don’t need any more wars.”
In these conversations, Mr. Trump bemoaned the costs of a drone shot down by Iran—about $130 million before research and development—but told people the dollar figure would resonate less with U.S. voters than the potential casualties. The president has said estimates provided to him showed as many as 150 people could have been killed. He noted to confidants that each one of those Iranians had families, which would mean that hundreds more would be affected.

“I don’t want to kill 150 Iranians,” he told reporters on Saturday, adding that he has Iranian friends back home in New York. “I don’t want to kill 150 of anything or anybody, unless it’s absolutely necessary.”

On Saturday, Mr. Trump backed a new course of action: another round of sanctions on Tehran to be formally announced on Monday, though he didn’t offer any additional detail. The administration’s current package of sanctions against Iran has pushed the country’s economy into a multiyear contraction and increased tensions in the region. But the measures have yet to persuade Tehran to open negotiations with Mr. Trump, who is seeking an agreement to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

While many of Mr. Trump’s top advisers backed a more aggressive set of strike options, Marine Gen. Joe Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, struck a more wary note, which had an outsize influence on the president.

Mr. Trump himself Saturday publicly described the conflict within his own team that remained a sore spot for some involved. He praised Gen. Dunford for counseling caution, while singling out his past disagreements with his hawkish national-security adviserJohn Bolton, who was the driving force behind the proposed strikes.

Američki državni sekretar Mike Pompeo izjavio je da će razgovarati sa zvaničnicima zemalja iz regije Perzijskog zaliva i Evrope, u okviru svojih nastojanja da stvori međunarodnu koaliciju protiv Irana.

Pompeo je u nedjelju otputovao iz Washingtona u Saudijsku Arabiju kako bi započeo na brzinu sazvane razgovore u cilju odvraćanja Irana, koga je nazvao najvećim svjetskim državnim sponzorom terorizma.

Pompeova misija dolazi u vrijeme dok američki zvaničnici šalju protivrječne signale Iranu, od ratobornih do pomirljivih, i obratno.

Uprkos oštroj retorici prema Iranu, i sam Pompeo tvrdi kako je spreman da pregovara sa zvaničnicima u Teheranu, bez preduslova, u pokušaju ublažavanja napetosti.

On je također saopćio da će nove sankcije Teheranu biti objavljene danas, u nastojanju da se iransko čelništvo prinudi na razgovore, prenosi Associated Press.
