Trump suspends Iran strikes, announces imminent deal

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he has called off planned strikes against Iran, citing progress in peace talks. Trump stated that a deal is nearing completion and will be signed shortly.

“

Teniendo en cuenta que las conversaciones con la República Islámica de Irán se han elevado al más alto nivel de la dirección iraní y han sido aprobadas, yo, en mi calidad de presidente de Estados Unidos de América, he cancelado los ataques aéreos y los bombardeos previstos contra Irán para esta noche.

"Given that the talks with the Islamic Republic of Iran have risen to the highest level of Iranian leadership and have been approved, I, as President of the United States of America, have canceled the air strikes and planned bombings against Iran for tonight," Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social.

He further elaborated that "the talks and final points have been approved, both conceptually and in detail, by all parties involved, including the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others!". However, Trump added that "the naval blockade will remain in full force and effect until this transaction is formalized; the time and place of the signing will be announced shortly."

“

Las conversaciones y los puntos finales han sido aprobados, tanto en lo conceptual como en los detalles, por todas las partes implicadas, entre ellas Estados Unidos, Israel, Arabia Saudita, los Emiratos Árabes Unidos, Qatar, Turquía, Paquistán, Bahréin, Kuwait, Jordania, Egipto y otros!

The announcement came just hours after Trump had threatened Iran with further bombings and the seizure of its main oil terminals, following a night of retaliatory attacks between the two countries. The U.S. president had previously stated that the American military would strike Iran "VERY HARD TONIGHT" and warned of taking control of Iran's oil and gas markets, drawing parallels to actions taken in Venezuela.

Sin embargo, añadió que "el bloqueo naval seguirá en pleno vigor y efecto hasta que se formalice esta transacción; la hora y el lugar de la firma se anunciarán en breve".

Iran responded by stating that the United States risked becoming trapped in a quagmire for years if it continued its aggressions. The President of the Iranian Parliament and chief negotiator in peace talks with the United States, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, warned via X that "wrong strategies and impulsive decisions will ruin everything, cause the collapse of energy infrastructures and markets, and create an endless quagmire in which you will be trapped for years."

“

Las estrategias erróneas y las decisiones impulsivas lo echarán todo por tierra, provocarán el colapso de las infraestructuras energéticas y los mercados y crearán un atolladero sin fin en el que quedarás atrapado durante años.
