U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States has put a planned military operation against Iran on hold after Tehran, along with several Middle Eastern countries, requested an opportunity to finalize a proposed agreement.

In a statement, Trump claimed U.S. forces had reached an unprecedented level of military readiness, describing the planned operation as one backed by firepower unmatched since World War II. He said Iran asked Washington to refrain from launching the attack because the framework of a potential deal had already been established.

Trump said the proposed agreement includes the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and measures to eliminate Iran’s nuclear threat.

He added that he agreed to suspend the military action to give diplomacy a chance, provided negotiations move forward quickly. Trump also claimed that Israel supports the decision to pause the operation.

The statement reflects Trump’s claims. There has been no immediate confirmation from Iranian or Israeli officials, and the reported terms of the proposed agreement have not been independently verified.
