President Donald Trump reverses course on Iran, saying he has canceled planned military strikes against the Islamic Republic. The decision comes hours after Trump publicly vowed to hit Iran “VERY HARD” and warned of potential steps targeting Iran’s oil infrastructure. According to the reports, Trump also frames the reversal as part of ongoing efforts connected to negotiations, adding that he believes a deal with Iran is close. The outlets describe the move as a sudden shift from threatened military action to a decision to hold off on strikes. While the coverage does not specify the detailed rationale behind the reversal or the exact terms of any prospective agreement, it consistently highlights the sequence of events: Trump initially escalates rhetoric and threats, then later announces the cancellation of the planned strikes. The reports also note the timing, emphasizing that the reversal occurs within hours of the earlier comments. Overall, the accounts portray a fast-changing U.S. posture toward Iran and renewed emphasis on the possibility of an agreement.
