In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the United States remained fully prepared for military action but agreed to suspend the attack to give diplomacy a chance.

He said the proposed agreement would guarantee the "Immediate, Complete, and Total opening of the Hormuz Strait" and remove what he called Iran's nuclear threat.

"The U.S.A. is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II," Trump wrote.

"Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern countries to hold off any attack in that the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to. This would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total opening of the Hormuz Strait and an end to Iran's nuclear threat. Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the World and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a deal," he said, adding, "The Country of Israel joins me in this commitment. Get to work, everybody, and get it done."

The announcement marked a shift in tone after Trump warned only days earlier that the United States would strike Iran "very hard," fueling fears of another military confrontation aimed at forcing Tehran back to negotiations.

Iran did not immediately issue an official response to Trump's statement, leaving uncertainty over whether negotiations would move forward or lead to a formal agreement.
