President Trump canceled the planned strike on Iran after reaching a deal that includes lifting the naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and removing the nuclear threat, according to i24NEWS. The report provides the first details of the agreement that prompted the cancellation, which Trump announced early Sunday morning. The deal also includes an Israeli commitment, the outlet reported.
New details of the agreement that led President Donald Trump to cancel the planned strike on Iran have emerged, as i24NEWS reported early Sunday that the deal includes lifting the naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and removing the nuclear threat. The outlet also reported that the agreement includes an Israeli commitment. This is the first detailed breakdown of the terms of the deal that Trump announced he had reached with Tehran, expanding on his earlier statements overnight.
Trump first announced the cancellation of the planned strike at 05:10 Jerusalem, stating that a framework agreement had been reached and that Iran and other Middle Eastern states requested the suspension. In subsequent statements at the same time, Trump said the United States was 'ready, prepared, and postured' for a massive strike, that the deal includes the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to Iran's nuclear threat, and that Israel has joined the commitment. The Zioneer tracked the developments as they emerged, from the initial report of the cancellation to the confirmation of the framework and Israel's involvement.
The Zioneer has reported extensively on the diplomatic maneuvering leading to this point. Background reports include the intervention of Qatar, Pakistan, and UAE leaders who convinced Trump to call off the strike (Thu Jun 11, 21:35 Jerusalem), the Axios report that Trump ordered a two-week halt to strikes to allow for Omani-mediated talks (Sat Jul 25, 21:13 Jerusalem), the Fars News Agency report citing 'last-minute concessions' from the US to Iran (Mon Jun 15, 01:44 Jerusalem), and the emergence of the so-called 'Islamabad Agreement' detailing the diplomatic memorandum (Fri Jun 12, 08:22 Jerusalem). Trump also informed Russian President Vladimir Putin that a US-Iran deal had been finalized (Sun Jun 14, 21:03 Jerusalem).
The deal remains a framework agreement contingent on a swift finalization. The specific terms of the Israeli commitment — whether it involves security guarantees, limitations on Israeli operations, or other elements — have not been detailed. No official confirmation has been issued by Iran or by the Israeli government beyond Trump's statements and the i24NEWS report.
