United States President Donald Trump claimed this Saturday to have postponed “an attack” against Iran after “reaching the basis of an agreement” that includes the “immediate and full opening” of the Strait of Hormuz.

“Iran and other Middle Eastern countries have asked us to postpone any attack, since the basis of an agreement has been reached. This would include the immediate, complete, and total opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the end of Iran’s nuclear threat,” Trump said on his Truth Social account.
U.S. embassies in the Middle East urged their citizens today to consider leaving the region due to the unstable situation in the Middle East caused by cross-attacks, the U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports and ships, and Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
However, the U.S. president assures that his country “is prepared to attack the Islamic Republic of Iran with a level of military terror, force, and power not seen since World War II,” if the diplomatic route does not succeed.
It is unknown whether the announcement is a new roadmap or if negotiations are resuming after the June 17 signing
<p“In response to this request, and for the future benefit of the WORLD — as well as the survival of a prosperous and successful Iran — (Trump) agreed to cancel the attack, provided that an AGREEMENT is reached quickly. Israel joins this commitment. Let’s get to work and achieve it!” declared the U.S. president.
Washington and Tehran signed a framework of understanding on June 17 to end the war that Israel and the United States started on February 28, which allowed the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the start of a two-month negotiation period to reach a definitive nuclear agreement.
However, since then, cross-attacks have been repeated, and Trump declared the framework of understanding ended while Iran again announced the blockade of the maritime passage through which 20% of the world’s oil trade passed before the war.

In recent weeks, violence has increased in the Middle East with the death of U.S. soldiers in Iranian attacks against Jordan and Iraq and Saudi Arabia’s entry into the conflict in a joint attack with the United States against Iranian militias in Iraq.
Trump, who always maintained that talks continued with Tehran, did not clarify in today’s announcement the terms that constitute the basis of this agreement, whether it is a new roadmap or the continuation of the negotiations started.
