President Trump reiterated his decision to cancel a planned military strike on Iran, stating it is conditional on a swift agreement to open the Strait of Hormuz and end the nuclear threat.

President Trump reiterated early Sunday that the cancellation of a planned military strike on Iran is contingent on a swift agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the nuclear threat. Calling on all parties to "start working" to finalize the deal, Trump stated that Israel is a partner in the commitment. The statement marks the latest in a rapid sequence of White House communications on the emerging framework.
As The Zioneer reported throughout the morning, Trump first announced the strike cancellation at 05:10 Jerusalem, citing a principled framework for a deal reached after requests from Iran and regional states. A fuller statement at 05:47 revealed the U.S. was "braced and ready" with force not seen since World War II. At 07:13, Trump declared an immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz and a framework to remove the nuclear threat. The Eye on Zion daily briefing at 08:05 summarized the situation as a major diplomatic pivot. The latest reiteration, delivered shortly thereafter, reinforces the urgency of finalizing the deal and conditions the cancellation on swift implementation.
The announcement follows a period of heightened U.S.-Iran tensions, including previous threats of large-scale strikes and a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, as The Zioneer reported in July. The status of the framework agreement and the exact timeline for implementation remain unclear.
