Iran's state-linked Fars News Agency reports that Tehran canceled a planned missile attack on Israel after President Trump offered last-minute concessions, including an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon and the lifting of the naval blockade. The report builds on earlier unconfirmed accounts of the cancelation and provides the first on-record Iranian attribution for the decision.
Iran's state-linked Fars News Agency has officially confirmed that Tehran canceled a planned missile strike on Israel after President Trump offered last-minute concessions, including an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon and the lifting of the naval blockade. The report, published just after midnight Jerusalem time Monday, provides the first on-record Iranian attribution for the decision.
This confirmation caps a rapid sequence of reports through the night. At 01:10 Jerusalem, The Zioneer cited Iranian sources telling The New York Times that the strike was called off following Trump's intervention. By 01:41 and 01:44, additional dispatches from The Zioneer noted that Fars had published its own account, and that Iranian officials had described an internal debate over whether striking would disrupt ceasefire talks. The Fars report — now the latest in the thread — anchors the story in a semi-official Iranian outlet, moving the narrative from unnamed sources to an attributed agency account.
The background to the cancelation includes earlier U.S. moves reported by The Zioneer: Trump's cancellation of planned U.S. strikes on Iran (Jun 11, 21:33) and his statement days earlier that Iran would halt fire on Israel for at least a week (Jun 9, 21:34). Iran denied on Sunday evening (22:01 Jerusalem) that it had accepted economic incentives from Trump, insisting it would not abandon its allies — a denial that now sits alongside the confirmed cancelation.
What remains open: the Fars report does not specify whether the cancelation is permanent or temporary, and Israeli officials have not yet commented. The reported concessions — including a joint Iran-Oman maritime framework — have not been confirmed by Washington or Jerusalem.
