Donald Trump said he had cancelled planned US strikes on Iran after requests from Middle East allies, according to the Financial Times and other reports. The announcement indicated that military action under consideration would be put on hold rather than carried out immediately.
Trump linked the decision to diplomatic efforts, saying there had been progress in negotiations and expressing hope that a deal could be reached quickly. Other coverage described the move as a decision to hold off on a fresh attack while discussions continued.
The reports did not provide full details of the alleged negotiations, the specific requests made by regional allies, or the conditions for any agreement. The decision leaves the possibility of renewed military action unresolved if diplomatic efforts fail or progress stalls.
