U.S. President Donald Trump says he has called off new military strikes against Iran, pointing to progress in negotiations. Multiple outlets report that the announcement comes shortly after Trump had issued threats that suggested potential escalation, including actions related to Iran’s oil industry. The decision is described as reversing a planned course of action for Thursday night or later that day, with Trump attributing the change to a “breakthrough” or advancing talks aimed at ending the war.
The reported developments occur amid a period of heightened tensions between the United States and Iran. BreakingNews.ie and other coverage note that the announcement follows two days of back-and-forth attacks between the two sides. The Financial Times also frames the move as a response to evolving diplomatic talks.
Taken together, the accounts indicate that the threatened strike posture shifts toward de-escalation, at least temporarily, as negotiations with Tehran progress. The specific terms of any proposed deal and the evidence for the claimed breakthrough are not detailed in the provided summaries.
