Donald Trump Cancels Planned US Strike on Iran Pending Deal FAST-MOVING

Donald Trump Iran Strait of Hormuz US strike cancellation Middle East deal

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that the United States will cancel a planned military strike against the Islamic Republic of Iran. He said the decision follows a request from Iran and other Middle‑Eastern countries to pause hostilities while a rapid agreement is reached. The proposed deal would include the immediate, complete and total reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to Iran’s nuclear threat. Trump added that U.S. forces were “locked and loaded” and ready for an attack “not seen since World War II,” but he agreed to hold off for the “future benefit of the world.”

Israel is reported to have joined the United States in the hold‑off, and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman urged Trump to de‑escalate. The U.S. State Department warned American citizens in the region to stay vigilant and consider leaving if the situation worsens. No official confirmation of the deal has been provided by Iran or Israel.
