US President Donald Trump has said he will order American forces to hold off on new strikes against Iran, claiming Middle East allies have reached the parameters of a deal to end the five-month-old war. Mr Trump has announced halts to strikes in Iran on several occasions since the US and Israel attacked Iran on February 28, only for things to unravel and fighting to resume again. The US, in exchange, will end its naval blockade on Iran and allow Tehran to export its oil as stated in the tentative ceasefire deal, he said. Mr Trump said that Israel is joining his commitment to end the war by implementing the ceasefire deal. Palestinians reported an increase in the scale of Israeli strikes across the enclave over the past few days.
