Trump says planned Iran strikes are off as talks move toward a deal
The US president said he halted a military strike plan after signs of progress in negotiations over Iran’s nuclear programme and regional demands.
US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he had cancelled planned strikes on Iran, saying talks were moving toward an agreement and that several countries in the Middle East had asked Washington to wait. He made the remarks on his Truth Social account.
Trump said the outline of a deal had already been settled and suggested the pause was tied to expectations of a quick breakthrough. He also linked the talks to Iran’s nuclear programme and the status of the Strait of Hormuz.
The president said Iran and other regional governments had urged the United States not to launch an attack while diplomacy was still active. He did not provide details of the proposed agreement or say when any decision on the strikes had been made.
The comments came as tensions remained high between Washington and Tehran, with the Strait of Hormuz a key route for global energy shipments and a recurring point of pressure in disputes involving Iran.
