Trump Cancels Planned Strikes on Iran Amid Reports of Nearing Peace Deal
US President Donald Trump announced the cancellation of planned military strikes on Iran, citing progress in high-level negotiations involving Iran's leadership and multiple regional allies. He described the emerging agreement as a "great settlement" that would prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and suggested a signing ceremony could occur soon, possibly in Europe, with Vice President JD Vance attending. Despite this, Iranian media denied approving any deal, and the US naval blockade on Iran remains in effect until the agreement is finalized.
