     He's just delaying because more war isn't a real option. Trumps big problem is settlements require compromise and he's painted himself into an absolute position. Thus, he'll delay and slowly shift goal posts in reliance on the memory hole, so he can say "we got everything we wanted" while feeding us a shit sandwich.

     I'm guessing the Gulf countries chickened out at the last moment

     Those lovely women have lots of time to get it right, I should think:
     
     > (a) There is no military solution to this imbroglio. Also: We just entered market hours, so no pyrotechnics until Friday, so Trump effectively TACO'd AGAIN.
     
     and
     
     > (b) A negotiated off-ramp, were one even possible, would take months trending into years. This notion that one side or the other could just accept a "deal", whatever that means, is Trump simulacra.
     
     Qualifier: I have no idea what I'm talking about. I study rhetoric.

     I called it correctly for once, @Terry. Trump Taco'd and it isn't even Tuesday yet.

     The problem with that theory is Bibi won't allow it. If it were that easy to take are ball and go home while feigning victory we would have done that over a month ago.
     
     Eventually the jews are gonna work out the kinks as best they can, the internal rebellion at the pentagon and the Gulf countries will be made to play ball, one way or another whether they like it or not. Strikes will resume and we all get to see how far we go up the escalation ladder after that.
