Trump says attack on Iran canceled after rough framework of deal reached

President Trump said Saturday he will cancel an attack on Iran after he indicated that a rough framework of a deal had been reached. "We have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack in that the [sic] perimeters of a deal has been agreed to," Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social. The president said that "based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL." Mr. Trump said the deal "would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran's nuclear threat." Multiple sources Friday had told CBS News that the U.S. and Israel were preparing to conduct a powerful bombing campaign against energy infrastructure targets in Iran. Trump said in his post Saturday that "The Country of Israel joins me" in the "commitment" to a peace deal. "Get to work, everybody, and get it DONE," the president wrote.
