President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he had agreed to halt a U.S. military strike against Iran, citing requests from Tehran and other Middle Eastern nations. The decision came after the U.S. had prepared for a significant military response, which Trump described as having "levels of terror, force, and military power never seen before since World War II."

The United States is ready to strike Iran with levels of terror, force and military power never seen before since World War II. Despite this, we were asked by Iran and other Middle Eastern countries to suspend any attacks in the perimeter of an agreement that has been reached.

Trump stated on his social media platform that the U.S. was ready to act but was asked by Iran and regional allies to pause any attack pending an agreement. This potential deal would hinge on the "complete, total and immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the end of Iran's nuclear threat." Trump framed his acceptance of this request as being "for the good of the world" and for the "survival of a prosperous and successful Iran."

He emphasized that the pause was conditional on reaching a swift agreement. Trump also noted that "the State of Israel joins me in this commitment," urging all parties involved to "get the job done."

This would include the complete, total and immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the end of Iran's nuclear threat. Based on this request, I have agreed, for the good of the world and, likewise, for the survival of a prosperous and successful Iran, to cancel the attack, provided that an agreement is reached quickly.

The announcement suggests a de-escalation of tensions, with the U.S. indicating a willingness to pursue a diplomatic solution over immediate military action, provided Iran meets specific conditions regarding the Strait of Hormuz and its nuclear program.

The State of Israel joins me in this commitment. Get the job done, everyone, and bring the operation to a close.
