President Trump announced on his Truth Social platform that the United States has halted a planned military strike against Iran. The decision came after the Islamic Republic and other Middle Eastern countries agreed to the framework of a peace deal.
Trump stated that the U.S. was "locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II." However, he added that Iran and other regional governments requested the U.S. "hold off any attack" because "the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to."
