Trump cancels attack, says ‘perimeters of a deal’ agreed

US President Donald Trump says he has cancelled planned attacks on Iran “subject to being able to rapidly make a deal”.

He says Iran and other countries in the Middle East asked him to hold off any attack as “the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to”, including the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

The announcement came after Iran’s ⁠Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that any “aggression” by ‌the US and Israel will ⁠be met with a “decisive ⁠and proportionate response” in separate phone calls with the army chief of Pakistan and the foreign ministers of Turkiye and Saudi Arabia.
