President Trump said the United States was 'braced, ready and prepared' to act against Iran with military power not seen since World War II, but agreed to cancel the planned strike after Iran and other Middle Eastern states requested a delay following a principled framework agreement. The deal includes the immediate full 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 confirmed early Sunday that he canceled a planned military strike on Iran after reaching a principled framework agreement. In a statement released at 07:17 Jerusalem, the President said the United States was 'braced, ready and prepared' to act with 'levels of power, strength, and military capability not seen since World War II.' He said the cancellation followed requests from Iran and other Middle Eastern states after the framework was reached. The agreement includes the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to the Iranian nuclear threat. Trump emphasized that Israel joins him in this commitment.
The Zioneer first reported at 05:10 Jerusalem that Trump had agreed to cancel the strike after a framework was reached. Over the following minutes, the desk published a rapid sequence of updates: confirmation of the cancellation, the inclusion of the Strait of Hormuz opening and Israeli commitment, and Trump's characterization of the planned strike as unprecedented in scale. The Eye on Zion daily briefing at 06:04 highlighted the cancellation and U.S. readiness for a full-scale war. A bulletin at 07:14 provided further confirmation, and Trump's full statement — including the 'World War II' language — was released shortly thereafter. The trajectory shows the President's remarks becoming more detailed as the morning progressed, with the final text confirming both the diplomatic framework and the military posture behind it.
The development caps a U.S.-Iran confrontation that escalated through July 2026, including a sustained air campaign and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. As The Zioneer reported on July 23, Trump had signaled he was 'close to making a decision' on a massive attack. The Islamabad memorandum and subsequent peace deal announcements in June set the stage for the current diplomatic track. Trump's latest statement frames the diplomatic outcome as a result of overwhelming U.S. military pressure, with the Strait of Hormuz now open and shipping records reported on Friday.
The framework is described as 'subject to reaching a quick final deal.' The specifics of the Iranian nuclear rollback and full implementation of the Strait's reopening remain to be finalized. The President's statement is the primary source for the details, and no independent confirmation from Tehran or other parties has been published at this hour.
