WASHINGTON (Web Desk): US President Donald Trump has announced that he is delaying a planned military strike on Iran, but only if a quick agreement can be reached between the two sides.

Trump delays planned strike on Iran

President Donald Trump said he has decided to postpone the proposed military action against Iran for now.

According to his statement, the decision depends on whether the United States and Iran can reach an agreement in the near future.

Trump said that if negotiations move quickly and successfully, there will be no immediate military attack.

Israel supports the US position

Trump also claimed that Israel agrees with the United States on this approach.

He said both countries are willing to avoid military action if diplomatic efforts produce a positive outcome.

However, he did not provide details about how long the negotiations would continue before a final decision is made.

Trump claims Iran requested no attack

The US President said Iran, along with some other countries in the Middle East, had asked the United States not to launch the planned attack.

He did not identify the countries or explain how those requests were made.

Iran has not immediately responded publicly to Trump’s latest statement.

What could be included in the proposed agreement?

According to Trump, one of the main conditions of the proposed agreement is the immediate, complete and permanent reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

He also said the deal should remove international concerns about Iran’s nuclear program.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important shipping routes for global oil supplies, making it a key issue in regional security.

Uncertainty remains

Although Trump has delayed the proposed military action, he made it clear that the decision depends entirely on progress in negotiations.

There has been no official confirmation from Iran regarding any agreement, and no timeline has been announced for possible talks.

Officials are expected to closely watch diplomatic developments over the coming days.
