US President Donald Trump said he has decided to hold off on any new attack on Iran, signaling a sudden pause in tensions as he argues that an agreement with Tehran may be within reach. He described the situation as a moment where the outlines of a deal have already been set.
According to Trump, the “perimeters” of an understanding with Iran have been agreed to, though he did not outline the terms in the available report. He framed the decision to cancel or delay military action as part of a broader push to let diplomacy move forward instead of opening a new round of strikes.
Trump also said Israel was joining him in the commitment to pause further attacks, suggesting coordination between Washington and Jerusalem at a sensitive stage. That claim points to a possible effort to present a united front while talks or back-channel contacts continue.
The announcement shifts attention from the threat of imminent military action to whether a US-Iran deal can actually be finalized. For now, Trump is presenting the pause as proof that negotiations are close enough to justify stepping back from another confrontation.
