Trump Halts Planned Airstrikes on Iran, Points to Pending Deal
On Thursday, US President Donald Trump announced he was calling off planned strikes against Iran. He said talks with Iran’s highest leadership had secured approval. He posted on his Truth Social platform that the time and place for a signing ceremony would be announced soon. Iran had warned Washington it risked falling into a prolonged conflict and spiking energy costs. Its parliamentary speaker cautioned that any attack would create an “endless quagmire.” The conflict began on February 28 with US-Israeli strikes and was paused under an April truce. Tensions have since hurt oil and gas markets and raised global recession fears.
