U.S. President Donald Trump announced the cancellation of planned military strikes against Iran, just hours after indicating a strong response to the Islamic Republic. This decision follows two consecutive nights of American military actions targeting Iranian sites, which were met with retaliatory strikes on U.S. bases in the Middle East.
In a post on Truth Social on June 11, Trump stated, “Given that negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been elevated to the highest levels of Iranian leadership and approved, I, as President of the United States, have canceled the planned strikes and bombings against Iran this evening.”
He further noted that the negotiations and final points had received approval from multiple nations, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others.
Trump emphasized that a maritime blockade would remain in effect until the agreement is finalized, with specific details regarding the time and place of the signing to be announced soon.
Despite the recent military exchanges, both the U.S. and Iran have not officially declared an end to the ceasefire established in early April. Since then, the two nations have engaged in limited strikes, and tensions have also escalated between Iran and Israel in recent days.
President Trump has called off planned military strikes on Iran, citing ongoing diplomatic negotiations involving multiple countries. The situation follows a series of military exchanges between the U.S. and Iran, though a ceasefire remains officially in place.
