Trump Cancels 'Largest Offensive Since WWII' Against Iran, Cites Potential Deal

Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced on July 1 that he had decided to call off a military strike against Iran, described as the largest offensive since World War II. The condition for this cancellation hinges on Iran swiftly reaching an agreement with the United States.

“

I agreed to lift the attack, but only on the condition that an agreement can be reached quickly.

Trump stated on his social media platform, Truth Social, that the U.S. was "set to attack" Iran with unprecedented military might. However, he revealed that the U.S. received requests from Iran and other Middle Eastern countries to hold off on the attack, as a framework for an agreement had been reached.

"I agreed to lift the attack, but only on the condition that an agreement can be reached quickly," Trump wrote. He specified that the agreement would entail the immediate, full, and complete opening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to Iran's nuclear threat. Trump cited these requests and the future interests of the world, as well as the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, as reasons for his decision to cancel the offensive.
