President Donald Trump announces he is canceling planned U.S. strikes against Iran scheduled for Thursday, saying the decision follows progress toward a potential agreement. Multiple outlets report Trump frames the move as tied to “final points” and approvals that involve discussions elevated to Iran’s leadership and the participation of regional states. CBS News says Trump indicates a peace deal is nearing and he provides remarks from the Oval Office, while also taking questions from reporters afterward. France 24 reports Trump says a signing ceremony details would be announced shortly after the “final points” of an initial deal are approved.

Iran’s reaction is reported as unclear or absent in the immediate aftermath. France 24 notes that Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency says Tehran has not approved the text of any agreement. Middle East Eye also reports no immediate response from Iranian officials. NPR characterizes the announcement as part of a repeated pattern of changing statements about the closeness of a deal.

Overall, the reports agree on the cancellation and Trump’s stated rationale, while they diverge only in how they describe claims of approval and the timing or confirmation of any agreement by Iran.
