U.S. President Donald Trump says he has canceled a planned attack on Iran after reaching what he describes as an agreement on the “perimeters of a deal.” According to multiple outlets, Trump said Iran and other regional countries ask the United States to “hold off any attack” because the “perimeters of a deal has been agreed to.” The reports describe Trump’s statement as linking the decision to cancel the strike to ongoing diplomatic discussions rather than to any immediate change on the battlefield.
While the outlets differ only in wording and framing, they consistently report that Trump announced the cancellation publicly and referenced consultations involving Iran and neighboring Middle Eastern governments. The statements indicate that negotiations are continuing or that a broader agreement is not yet finalized, but that the scope of potential actions is being adjusted in line with the progress Trump cited. The reports do not provide additional details about the contents of the “perimeters” agreement, the specific terms, or verification of the claimed understanding.
