Trump Pulls Back on Iran Strike as Allies Seek a Deal Framework

Donald Trump said he would not proceed with a new attack on Iran after Middle Eastern allies urged restraint, stating the decision was made while aiming to rapidly reach a DEAL. He indicated the ‘perimeters of a deal’ include the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to Iran’s nuclear threat, in the context of a six‑month crisis in which US–Israel strikes and Iranian responses have escalated tensions.
