Just hours after declaring that the U.S. would strike Iran “VERY HARD TONIGHT,” President Donald Trump abruptly reversed course Thursday afternoon, announcing that he had canceled the planned attacks after what he described as a breakthrough in negotiations with Tehran.
“Based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved, I have, as President of the United States of America, cancelled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The president added that a potential deal to end the monthslong war has been “approved by all parties involved, including the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others,” saying that the “time and place” of the signing will be announced shortly.
He notably did not list Iran in the list of “all parties involved,” and the Iranian government has not publicly weighed in on Thursday.
In the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump said he believed Tehran had approved the agreement, which he clarified was a memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran. He said he expects the agreement to be finalized “over the next few days” and potentially signed by Vice President JD Vance at an event in Europe.
