The president says he called off a planned set of strikes on Iran, describing it as an attack he had characterized as potentially the “biggest since WWII.” In a post on Truth Social made on Saturday evening, he states that although he remains “locked and loaded” to launch an attack, he halted the strikes. He links the decision to a stated aim of improving the prospects for peace talks, including a possible nuclear agreement with Iran. The accounts present the decision as a shift from an imminent use of force to pursuing diplomacy. They do not provide additional operational details about what specific targets were planned, when the strikes were to occur, or what diplomatic channel or negotiating framework is being pursued. The reports also do not include independent verification or statements from the Iranian government or other U.S. officials regarding the strike plans or the status of negotiations. Overall, the information centers on Trump’s publicly stated rationale for pausing military action in favor of efforts that he says could lead to a historic nuclear deal.
