Trump Pauses Iran Strikes as US-Iran Negotiations Set to Begin Amid Regional Tensions
US President Donald Trump announced a pause on planned military strikes against Iran, citing requests from Iran and several Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia, to allow more time for diplomacy. Trump said the proposed deal would include reopening the Strait of Hormuz and addressing Iran's nuclear program. However, Iranian officials and state media denied requesting a halt or agreeing to reopen the strait, maintaining a firm stance. Negotiations between the US and Iran are set to begin soon, with regional mediators involved amid ongoing tensions.
