Trump calls off planned strikes on Iran after tentative deal
President Donald Trump announced he called off planned large-scale U.S. strikes against Iran after saying Tehran and regional states asked for a pause once the parameters of a deal were tentatively agreed. Trump said forces were "locked and loaded" and that the understanding would require Iran to immediately open the Strait of Hormuz and stop nuclear enrichment; he said Israel joined the commitment. Saudi officials urged de-escalation, Qatar and Oman mediated with U.S. and Iranian envoys, and Iranian leaders warned any attack would be met with decisive, potentially region-wide retaliation, leaving diplomatic talks and verification as immediate consequences.
