Trump says he is cancelling strikes on Iran subject to 'rapidly' making deal

What the report says

US President Donald Trump said he has cancelled planned strikes against Iran, saying he would only proceed if the two sides can “rapidly” reach a deal. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the move was made with Israel and framed it as being in the “future benefit” of the world and Iran. The BBC reported that his comments came as US media had described possible new, intense strikes over the weekend.

Trump said he took the decision after being asked by Iran and other Middle Eastern countries to hold off on any attack so negotiations could continue. He said any agreement would need to include the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to what he described as Iran’s nuclear threat. The report did not provide independent confirmation of those conditions or details of any draft deal.

Tehran had earlier accused the US of worsening tensions and warned that regional states cooperating with Washington could be drawn into conflict. The BBC also reported that the US government had issued a security alert for Americans across the Middle East, urging caution, vigilance and readiness for possible travel disruption. The development underscores how quickly diplomatic talks and military threats around Iran remain intertwined.
