Trump Halts Iran Attack Plan in Last Minute U Turn President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he was halting plans to launch military strikes against Iran, citing agreement on "parameters of a deal" reached through diplomatic channels.
The decision came after a tense week of escalating tensions between the US and Iran, which culminated in a dramatic warning from Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that any attack would be met with a strong response.
In a statement released by the White House, Trump described the decision as a result of "good things happening" in the negotiation process.
