In a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy, President Trump has announced that planned strikes on Iran will be canceled as negotiations aimed at reaching a deal are set to resume on Monday. The decision comes amid claims of progress in talks regarding the Strait of Hormuz and efforts to end the ongoing conflict. Trump indicated that input from Gulf leaders influenced his decision to halt the military action, which he described as a potentially massive assault. As tensions remain high in the region, both U.S. and Iranian officials are working towards finalizing the terms of an agreement, raising hopes of de-escalation in hostilities.
