The US president says he calls off fresh military strikes against Iran only hours after issuing a threat that the United States would hit Iran “very hard.” According to the reports, Trump had earlier escalated the situation by warning he would seize control of Iran’s oil industry as part of US pressure on the country. In the later account, he also says he is close to reaching a deal with Iran, framing the decision to halt additional strikes as connected to possible negotiations. The coverage describes a rapid shift from heightened rhetoric and implied imminent action to a decision not to proceed with further strikes shortly afterward. While the reports highlight the president’s claims about both the threat and the prospect of a deal, they do not provide additional confirmed details about the specific nature of any planned operations or the terms of the alleged negotiations. The accounts therefore focus on the sequence of events: a warning of severe action toward Iran and subsequent cancellation of further strikes within the same time window.
