Trump Cancels Planned Military Strike Against Iran Amid Last-Minute Peace Deal Push
The United States has paused a planned military strike on Iran after what former President Donald Trump described Saturday as requests from Tehran and other Middle Eastern states to finalize a rapid peace framework. Trump wrote on Truth Social that U.S. forces were prepared for an attack “not seen since World War II” but agreed to delay it in exchange for efforts to halt Iran’s nuclear ambitions and fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. embassies across the region issued security alerts, urging Americans to consider immediate departure.
