President Donald Trump says the United States and Israel have agreed to hold off on any new strikes on Iran - provided that a deal to end the months-long conflict is quickly reached.
CBS News reported that the United States and Israel were planning joint strikes, possibly throughout the weekend, with oil refineries and power plants among possible targets.
"Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack," he said.
After more than five months of war, which began on February 28 when the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran, there is seemingly no end to the conflict, with a resumption of tit-for-tat attacks in recent weeks.
One source with knowledge of the call told Axios that the Saudi crown prince had "urged Trump to de-escalate and refrain from launching the strikes."
