Trump halts Iran attacks, says deal framework agreed

US President Donald Trump says he has agreed to cancel planned attacks on Iran, claiming that “the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to” and that the deal would require Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz and end its nuclear threat. Tehran has not confirmed the statement. The waterway remains shut, and US officials warn that Patriot interceptor stocks have been depleted during the 156-day conflict.
