Donald Trump says he will "hold off any attack" on Iran after "perimeters of a deal" are agreed

President Trump said late Saturday that he had paused additional U.S. military action against Iran after Tehran and other Middle Eastern countries asked him to, saying the framework for an agreement had been reached. In a social media post, he tied the halt to a rapid deal requiring Iran to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end its nuclear program, and he claimed Israel had also agreed to suspend hostilities; Israeli officials have not confirmed that. The announcement came amid a six-month conflict in which U.S. strikes have not restored shipping through the vital waterway. Trump had shelved a larger offensive after military advisers warned of depleted air-defense stockpiles, while the State Department urged Americans to leave the region. Iran has reportedly planned proxy escalation if attacked.
