US President Donald Trump confirmed he is delaying the total incineration of Iran because he is waiting to see if Tehran will “give him a better price.”

Speaking at a medicine price presser, Trump revealed he paused the nuclear strike after receiving a WhatsApp from the Supreme Leader asking to “lowball a bit.”

“There’s a very good chance we can work something out,” Trump said while wiping grease on a classified document.

“If we can get the same results without bombing them, I’d be very happy.”

“I told my generals to keep the planes in the air, but if Iran offers free shipping and a ‘buy one get one free’ on enriched uranium, I might just cancel the massacre.”

Analysts believe Trump is treating the Middle East like a messy Carousell transaction.

“He’s basically holding the detonator until they agree to top up the offer,” one aide whispered.
