Trump says he will hold off on fresh Iran attack in hope of quick deal

Trump said late on Saturday on his Truth Social ‌platform that Iran and other Middle Eastern countries had asked for time to complete a deal that would lead to "the Immediate, Complete and Total" reopening of the vital strait and "an end to Iran's nuclear threat" He did not name the countries in the post, which followed a call with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, a U.will hold off on a fresh attack on Iran as long as a ​deal can be reached quickly to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump has argued that his stated goal of keeping Iran from gaining nuclear weapons justifies higher fuel costs in the ​near term, but the ⁠economic pain has put political pressure on him to find a way to end the war.
