As Trump cites progress on deal to end war, Iran and Israel remain on alert
As President Donald Trump said he was canceling a planned strike on Iran - citing progress toward a deal to end the war - there was no immediate sign of a breakthrough in Tehran, and Israel said it remained on high alert.
Israel has been on high alert over the past week because of threats of renewed strikes from Iran.
