President Donald Trump announced that the United States and Israel have agreed to halt new attacks on Iran, but this pause is contingent upon the swift achievement of a deal to end the months-long conflict. The decision comes amid heightened tensions and Trump's previous threats of severe retaliation against the Islamic Republic.
Trump stated that the U.S. was fully prepared for action against Iran. However, he indicated that Tehran and several other West Asian nations had requested a postponement of further military action. "Based on these requests, I have agreed, in the interest of world peace and the success and prosperity of Iran, to call off the attack, subject to the ability to quickly reach a new deal," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
Based on these requests, I have agreed, in the interest of world peace and the success and prosperity of Iran, to call off the attack, subject to the ability to quickly reach a new deal.
The proposed agreement, according to Trump, must encompass the immediate, full, and comprehensive opening of the Strait of Hormuz and a definitive end to Iran's nuclear ambitions. "Israel stands with me on this commitment. All parties must begin to work and make sure that the deal works out," he added.
This development follows over five months of conflict, which began on February 28 with U.S. and Israeli attacks on Tehran. The situation shows no signs of de-escalation, and the conditions set by Trump for the postponement signal a complex path toward potential resolution.
