Donald Trump cancels planned major strikes on Iran, saying a deal is close, according to multiple reports. The decision reverses earlier expectations of significant military action. All outlets describing the development say Trump positions the move as connected to progress toward an agreement, indicating that striking is no longer imminent.
While Trump’s statement points to negotiations, reactions from Iran are not presented as consistent across sources. Al-Monitor reports there is no immediate comment from Iran. Foreign Policy notes that Iranian news reports say Tehran has not yet agreed to a deal, suggesting uncertainty or differing assessments of whether an agreement is finalized.
Taken together, the reports indicate: planned strike activity is put on hold, the U.S. links the change to deal progress, and Iranian responses in the available reporting are either absent in the immediate term or indicate that agreement is not concluded. The sources do not provide detailed terms of any proposed deal in the material provided.
