United States President Donald Trump says he cancels a planned military strike on Iran, with the decision tied to reaching a rapid agreement, according to reports from Times of India and Mint. Both accounts describe Trump as stating that Iran and regional countries ask for a halt to the operation, and that he agrees to cancel the planned action if a deal can be swiftly put in place.
The proposed agreement, as outlined in the coverage, focuses on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and curbing or ending Iran’s nuclear programme. The reports also note that the timing follows recent warnings from Iran. Mint says Iran has cautioned it would retaliate against any new US military action, while Times of India adds that Israel is reported to support the move to finalise the agreement.
The sources present Trump’s announcement as conditional on negotiating a quick settlement, rather than an unconditional end to all US military plans. They do not provide additional details on the deal’s terms or timeline beyond the stated objectives.
