The latest
President Donald Trump announced that he had canceled a planned attack on Iran, in a surprise shift after a day marked by escalating rhetoric and speculation over a possible new military operation.
Trump said on social media that strikes scheduled for Thursday night had been called off because negotiations with Iran had reached what he described as an advanced stage.
Details
• Trump said he had canceled the “planned strikes and bombing against Iran tonight” in his capacity as President of the United States.
• He claimed that the “final points” of a proposed agreement had been approved by all parties involved “in principle and in detail.”
• The announcement came only hours after Trump threatened to take control of Iran’s Khark Island, the country’s main oil export hub.
• Trump claimed that the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt and other countries had agreed to the proposed framework.
• He said the naval blockade would remain in place until the agreement is formally completed and signed.
• Trump did not explicitly include Iran among the parties that approved the final terms, saying only that the proposals had reached the highest levels of Iran’s leadership.
• The U.S. president provided no details about the nature of the agreement or its specific provisions.
• The Onetime+ reported that Iran had submitted a new draft agreement through Qatari mediators as part of efforts to prevent further military escalation.
• According to a regional source cited by The Onetime+, the text of the agreement has reached its final stages and Doha is maintaining intensive contacts with both Washington and Tehran.
• The source added that final approval has not yet been secured, meaning no agreement has been finalized so far.
• Tehran has not issued any official confirmation that an agreement has been reached or that negotiations have produced a major breakthrough.
• Iran’s Tasnim News Agency cast doubt on Trump’s claims, arguing that he has repeatedly predicted an imminent deal in recent weeks without tangible results.
• The outlet said reports of a final understanding should be treated cautiously unless confirmed by Iranian officials.
What to watch
The focus now shifts to Tehran’s response. Any confirmation or denial from Iranian officials could clarify whether negotiations are genuinely nearing a deal or whether Trump’s announcement reflects political messaging rather than a finalized agreement.
