President Trump announced the cancellation of scheduled strikes against Iran, citing high-level approval from Iranian leadership and significant progress in negotiations. Iranian officials had warned of wider regional conflict and market disruption from renewed military action.
“Based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved, I have, as President of the United States of America, cancelled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
Iranian officials had responded to those threats by warning that a renewed military campaign could trigger a wider regional conflict and further disrupt global energy markets.
“Wrong strategies and impulsive decisions will reset the entire board for the worse, explode energy infrastructure and markets and create an endless quagmire that you will be stuck in for years,” Iranian parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Tehran’s chief negotiator in talks with Washington, said earlier on Thursday.
In a later social media post, Trump said negotiations had advanced significantly and that discussions and final details had been approved “in both concept and great detail” by the United States, Israel and a range of regional partners, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan and Egypt.
