Trump Cancels Iran Attack After 'Perimeters' of Deal Reached; Hormuz to Open, Nuclear Threat Set to Be Ended

President Donald Trump announced Saturday night he canceled a planned U.S. attack on Iran after Tehran and other Middle Eastern countries asked him to hold fire. The "perimeters" of a deal were subsequently agreed to he said would fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end Iran's nuclear threat.

"The U.S.A. is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack in that the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to," he continued.

Trump said the emerging agreement "would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran's nuclear threat."

"Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL," Trump wrote.

"The Country of Israel joins me in this commitment," he added. "Get to work, everybody, and get it DONE."

Trump did not provide additional details on the emerging agreement, including what concessions Iran had made beyond the two conditions he outlined or how quickly negotiations would have to produce a final deal for his decision to hold off on the attack to remain in place.

The announcement followed an intense diplomatic push Saturday by several Middle Eastern governments seeking to prevent another major escalation.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman personally urged Trump to de-escalate and refrain from launching the planned strikes during a phone call Saturday, Axios reported, citing two U.S. officials and another source familiar with the conversation.

"The Saudis expressed concern and asked for clarity about the plan of action," one U.S. official told the outlet.

The Saudi intervention came as Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey and Pakistan were also pressing Washington and Tehran to de-escalate.

Araghchi also spoke Saturday with Pakistani army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, who has played a key mediating role between Washington and Tehran, as well as the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

"We'll be hitting them very hard," Trump told reporters during a Cabinet meeting at Camp David. "At some point, they're going to say, 'We just can't take it anymore.'"

Asked about reviving diplomacy, Trump replied, "I think we just want to win."

The president also said he was "losing faith" in negotiations, accusing Tehran of repeatedly lying and breaking its word.
