Trump details Iran deal framework: Strait of Hormuz opening, end of nuclear threat; attack canceled pending quick deal

President Donald Trump said early Sunday that Iran and other Middle Eastern states requested a delay to a planned US attack after a framework agreement was reached. In a statement, Trump said the deal includes the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the end of Iran's nuclear threat, and that he agreed to cancel the attack contingent on a swift final agreement. Trump added that Israel has joined the commitment.

President Donald Trump announced early Sunday that he agreed to cancel a planned large-scale U.S. military strike on Iran, after Iran and other Middle Eastern states requested a delay and a basic framework for a deal was reached. In a statement, Trump said the United States was prepared for a response "not seen since World War II," but consented to cancel the attack subject to a swift agreement. The deal would include the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to Iran's nuclear threat. Trump added that Israel joins the U.S. in this commitment.

This development caps a period of escalating threats and diplomatic maneuvers. As The Zioneer reported, Trump had previously threatened to wipe out Iran's power plants and reviewed options for full-scale war, while also expressing a preference for a negotiated deal. The current framework, described as a "basic agreement," has been reported across multiple channels. The precise terms and timeline for a final agreement remain unclear.

The announcement follows a series of earlier reports of canceled or postponed strikes. In June, Trump aborted a major strike hours before takeoff, and in July, he postponed planned strikes at mediators' request. The latest statement suggests a more developed framework.
