President Trump reiterated his decision to cancel a planned military strike against Iran, publishing a full statement early Sunday morning. Trump said the US was 'braced, ready and prepared' with force not seen since World War II, but agreed to call off the strike after Iran and other Middle Eastern states requested a delay following the outline of a framework agreement. The deal includes the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to the Iranian nuclear threat. Trump stated that Israel joins him in this commitment.
President Trump reiterated his decision early Sunday morning to cancel a planned military strike against Iran, publishing a full statement that confirms Israel's commitment to the framework deal. Trump stated that the US was 'braced, ready and prepared' with force not seen since World War II, but agreed to call off the strike after Iran and other Middle Eastern states requested a delay following the outline of a framework agreement.
The Zioneer first reported the cancellation at 05:10 Jerusalem, when Trump announced a principled framework agreement including the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to the Iranian nuclear threat. By 07:13 Jerusalem, he had declared the deal framework in detail, and a subsequent bulletin at 07:18 Jerusalem quoted Trump emphasizing the scale of the planned operation and the request for delay. The current statement reiterates these points while explicitly adding that Israel joins the commitment.
The framework deal follows weeks of heightened US-Iran tensions, including US strikes on IRGC targets and Iranian attempts to disrupt shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. As The Zioneer reported on Friday, June 26, Trump claimed a total strategic victory over the Islamic Republic and said the Strait was fully open. Earlier, on June 12, a Geneva agreement framework had advanced. The current deal represents the most significant diplomatic development in recent months.
The statement did not provide additional details on the timeline for implementation, verification mechanisms, or the specific nature of Israel's commitment.
