Trump cancels planned attack on Iran, gives reasons

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he had canceled a planned military strike against Iran. The strike, which he described as being "at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II," was suspended following a request from Iran and other Middle Eastern nations.

Trump stated on his Truth Social platform that Iran had agreed to the terms of a new deal. This agreement, he said, would "completely" reopen the Strait of Hormuz and put an end to Iran's "nuclear threat." The cancellation of the attack is conditional upon the "rapid finalisation of the deal."

“

Based on the request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL.

"Based on the request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL," Trump declared. He added that "The Country of Israel joins me in this commitment. Get to work, everybody, and get it DONE."

The decision comes amid heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran throughout July, stemming from disputes over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran had previously closed the vital maritime route, prompting the U.S. to reimpose a naval blockade and expand sanctions. The article also mentions a conflict that began on February 28th involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran, which has lasted five months and includes a new front in the Red Sea between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis. This ongoing conflict had previously led to a spike in global oil prices.
