Trump says Mideast allies have reached outlines of deal to end Iran war, says US to stop new strikesWASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump in a Saturday evening social media post claimed that Mideast allies have reached the parameters of a deal to end the Iran war and said that he would hold off on ordering new strikes in the five-month old conflict for now. Trump added that the emerging deal “would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran’s nuclear threat.” “Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL,” Trump said. The discussion, which was first reported on by the news outlet Axios, came as Trump weighed whether to carry out new strikes on Iran. The Israeli leader has urged Trump to continue to prosecute the war against Iran.
