Trump cancels planned Iran strikes amid reported deal talks
Iran strikes called off as Trump says talks with Tehran advanced See why the blockade stays in place while a wider deal nears approval
President Donald Trump said he has called off planned U.S. strikes on Iran after discussions moved forward with Iranian leadership, according to a Truth Social post published Thursday.
Trump said the decision followed talks that reached what he described as the highest levels of Iran’s government and added that final details of a broader agreement had been approved by multiple countries involved in the negotiations.
He also said a naval blockade on Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz would stay in place until a deal is finalized. The announcement marked a sharp shift after Trump had recently warned that U.S. forces could strike Iran if negotiations collapsed.
