US President Donald Trump says he will order American forces to hold off on new strikes against Iran, saying Middle East allies have reached the parameters of a deal to end the five-month old war.
The emerging deal "would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran's nuclear threat," Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"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."
Israel had agreed to join the US in the commitment to try to complete the agreement with Iran that would bring about an end to the war, he added.
