President Donald Trump said he canceled the airstrikes planned for tonight on Iran after negotiations reached the highest level of Iranian leadership and all parties approved the final terms. He listed 11 countries including Israel as parties to the deal and said the naval blockade remains in full force until the signing, with the venue and date to be announced shortly.
In a dramatic reversal of course, President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social at 20:30 Jerusalem that he has canceled the airstrikes planned for tonight on Iran, stating that negotiations have reached the highest level of Iranian leadership and received final approval from all parties. The cancellation comes roughly an hour after The Zioneer reported at 19:28 that Trump had formalized a policy of nightly strikes until a deal was reached, and just over six hours after it reported at 14:05 that Trump had vowed tonight's bombings would be "larger and more powerful" than the previous night's. The 11 parties to the agreement, as listed by Trump, are the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, and Egypt; he said the naval blockade remains "in full force" until the signing, whose date and venue have yet to be announced. The shift from kinetic pressure to diplomatic conclusion follows two consecutive nights of U.S. strikes on Iranian targets, the second wave of which The Zioneer reported at 06:39, during which Trump issued a final ultimatum demanding a deal.
The thread began at 20:30 with an initial report from Amichai Stein (i24NEWS) that Trump had canceled the airstrike. That same minute, The Zioneer published a fuller version quoting Trump directly on the cancellation and the final approval of terms. By 20:30, a third version noted that negotiations were in their final stages with a signing date expected soon. The corroboration thus evolved from a single reporter's sourcing to the president's own on-record statement issued through multiple outlets.
As The Zioneer reported on June 10 at 19:49, Trump had declared an end to a ceasefire and vowed "very hard" strikes on Iran that day, following an Iranian strike on a U.S. Apache helicopter. The escalation had proceeded through a sustained schedule of nightly operations, as reported in context items dating back to June 9.
The terms of the deal have not been disclosed, and it remains unverified whether Iran's leadership has formally confirmed the accord in its own name. The signing ceremony's venue and date also remain unannounced.
