US President Donald Trump says he cancels a planned military strike on Iran, stating that “perimeters of a deal” have been agreed and that an arrangement to end the conflict is nearing. Multiple outlets report that Trump makes the announcement after days in which he had threatened to carry out attacks. The Financial Times reports Trump attributes the decision to a request from US Middle East allies, while Al Jazeera and other sources focus on Trump’s claim of progress in negotiations. Sun Online, the Sydney Morning Herald, and The Age similarly describe Trump saying the planned attack is called off because “the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to.” The reports do not include additional details on what the deal entails, who is negotiating, or what specific terms have been reached. Coverage centers on Trump’s public statement that the strike does not proceed and that the US views the negotiations as reaching a key threshold. The timing and reasons for the cancellation are described as tied to ally input and claimed progress in talks.
