President Donald Trump cancels planned U.S. strikes against Iran scheduled for Thursday evening, saying talks have reached the “highest level” of Iranian leadership and that “discussions and final points” have been approved by participating parties. Multiple outlets report Trump links the decision to progress toward an initial agreement that would wind down hostilities, and he says a signing ceremony would be announced shortly. The reporting also notes that Trump’s remarks come after earlier public threats of additional U.S. military action, including references to Iran’s oil exports. Sources differ on some details, including the extent of Iran’s acceptance: Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency is cited as saying Tehran has not approved the text of any agreement, even as Trump asserts broader approval. Some accounts list several countries that Trump says have approved the “final points,” while others focus on the negotiation status and the pause in strikes. Across the coverage, Trump’s announcement centers on a temporary halt to scheduled attacks alongside continued pressure measures, with at least one outlet reporting that a naval blockade remains in force until a transaction is finalized.
