Multiple reports say U.S. President Donald Trump announces the United States and Israel will hold off on planned strikes against Iran. The statements come amid rising public concern that the conflict could escalate again. According to the coverage, fears had intensified after Trump previously threatened to strike Iran “very hard,” prompting speculation that renewed heavy attacks could follow.
The two outlets describe the latest move as a decision to pause or delay action rather than proceed immediately with strikes. The reporting frames the announcement in the context of mounting tensions and ongoing fighting, with observers worried that any new U.S.-Israel military response could broaden the conflict.
While the reports emphasize the decision to “hold off,” they do not provide additional details on timing, conditions for resuming or refraining from strikes, or the specific nature of any earlier targeting plans. The accounts focus primarily on Trump’s indication of restraint and the corresponding change in near-term expectations about possible strikes.
