President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that the U.S. had postponed an attack against Iran, stating that the "bases of an agreement" had been reached. According to Trump's post on Truth Social, this agreement includes the "immediate, complete, and total opening" of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to Iran's nuclear threat.
Iran and other countries in the Middle East have asked us to postpone any attack, given that the bases of an agreement have been reached.
Trump declared that Iran and other Middle Eastern countries had requested the postponement of any attack. He stated that he agreed to cancel the attack "for the future benefit of the WORLD, and of a prosperous and successful Iran, (Trump) agreed to cancel the attack, provided that an AGREEMENT is quickly reached. Israel joins this commitment."
This development follows warnings from U.S. embassies in the Middle East urging their citizens to consider leaving the region due to the unstable situation. The instability was attributed to cross-border attacks, a U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports and vessels, and Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
This would include the immediate, complete, and total opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the end of Iran's nuclear threat.
The article references a framework of understanding signed by Washington and Tehran on June 17 to end a war initiated by Israel and the United States on February 28. This framework had allowed for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and initiated a two-month negotiation period for a definitive nuclear agreement. However, cross-border attacks have recurred since then, leading Trump to terminate the understanding while Iran announced a renewed blockade of the maritime passage, through which 20% of the world's oil trade previously passed.
Attending to this request, and for the future benefit of the WORLD, as well as the survival of a prosperous and successful Iran, , (Trump) agreed to cancel the attack, provided that an AGREEMENT is quickly reached. Israel joins this commitment.
