President Donald Trump on Thursday announced he had canceled planned strikes on Iran, citing the agreement of Iranian leadership to unspecified terms.Trump renewed strikes on Iran this week in the wake of the Iranian downing of an Apache helicopter. The war had been in a state of nominal ceasefire for weeks, though it witnessed live-fire exchanges between nearly every combatant.
“Based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved, I have, as President of the United States of America, cancelled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening,” he posted on Truth Social.
“Discussions and final points have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved, including the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others. The Naval Blockade will remain in full force and effect until this Transaction is finalized — Time and place of the signing to be announced shortly,” he added.
The terms of the agreement remain unclear, though Trump’s reference to a “signing,” suggests both governments may finalize a permanent agreement to end the war.
