Trump: I agreed to cancel the Iran strike at its request and that of other Middle Eastern countries

|
U.S. President Donald Trump announced he canceled a planned strike on Iran. "The United States is ready and prepared to act against the Islamic Republic of Iran with levels of military might, power and capability not seen since World War II," Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. "However, we have just been asked by Iran and several other countries in the Middle East to refrain from any attack, after the outlines of a deal have been agreed upon. The deal will include the immediate, full and absolute opening of the Strait of Hormuz, as well as the end of the nuclear threat from Iran. Based on this request, and for the sake of the future good of the world - as well as for the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran - I have agreed to cancel the strike, subject to a deal being reached quickly. The State of Israel joins me in this commitment. Everyone, get to work and complete the mission."
