U.S. President Donald Trump says the United States is holding off on a planned military strike on Iran that had been scheduled for Tuesday. In a social media post Monday, Trump links the pause to “serious negotiations” currently underway, describing the effort as part of attempts to end the broader conflict. The sources report that Trump had previously warned that the timetable for Iran to reach a deal was running out, and that the ceasefire—described as fragile and reached in mid-April—could fail if an agreement is not reached. One outlet notes that Trump had instructed U.S. forces to be ready to proceed with a “full, large scale assault” on short notice if a deal is not reached. Other reports say Trump did not provide additional operational details about the planned strike, including what it would involve or targets. All sources attribute the decision to Trump’s stated request to pause the attack while talks continue, and they describe the move as temporary pending whether negotiations produce an acceptable agreement.
