Trump says he will order halt to Iran strikes after parameters reached for deal to end war

Associated Press (via Eagle-Tribune) · back to the audit
U.S. President Donald Trump says he will order American forces to hold off on new strikes against Iran, claiming Mideast allies have reached the parameters of a deal to end the 5-month old war.
Trump said the emerging deal "would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran's nuclear threat."
Trump also wrote: "Based on this request, I have agreed... to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL."
Iran's defense minister said on X that the country was "neither surprised nor passive" following Trump's announcement.
Trump has announced halts to Iran strikes several times since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28, only for fighting to resume. A regional official involved in mediation said the proposal calls for the U.S. and Iran to return to negotiations, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and halting attacks across the region - including by Iranian-backed militias in Iraq; in exchange the U.S. would end its naval blockade and allow Tehran to export oil. No deal has been reached yet. Trump said Israel is joining his commitment to end the war; Israel did not publicly comment. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman spoke with Trump by phone Saturday and raised concerns about potential Iranian retaliation against Gulf energy infrastructure. State Department issued new security alerts for U.S. citizens in 10 Middle Eastern countries.
