U.S. President Donald Trump has called off new military strikes on Iran, just hours after threatening to escalate the ongoing conflict.
The decision follows what the White House described as a breakthrough in negotiations aimed at ending the war. Trump's abrupt reversal came after a series of high-level diplomatic exchanges, signaling a potential de-escalation in the region.
The president stated that progress in talks had made the strikes unnecessary, though he did not provide specific details about the negotiations. The move has drawn mixed reactions, with some praising the shift toward diplomacy and others expressing skepticism about Iran's commitment to peace.
The development marks a significant turn in the conflict, which has seen heightened tensions and military posturing in recent weeks. International observers are closely watching the situation, hoping for a lasting resolution.
