On June 12, 2026, President Donald Trump announced that he had canceled planned U.S. military strikes against Iran, citing what he described as a breakthrough in negotiations to end the ongoing conflict. The decision came after days of heightened tensions, including reciprocal attacks, a U.S. claim that Iran downed an American attack helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz, and Trump’s earlier threat to seize Iran’s Kharg Island oil hub. Trump said a deal to end hostilities could be signed as early as this weekend and pledged to lift the U.S. naval blockade if terms are met. Iranian officials, however, reported no final decision in Tehran, leaving the situation uncertain.
