President Trump just announced that he’s cancelling the heavy Iranian strikes that were planned for tonight after a deal has been reached and is awaiting to be finalized.
Here’s what he wrote:
Based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved, I have, as President of the United States of America, cancelled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening.
Discussions and final points have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved, including the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others. The Naval Blockade will remain in full force and effect until this Transaction is finalized — Time and place of the signing to be announced shortly.
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Not the outcome I was hoping for. But I guess we get to see how long Iran abides by this agreement. Any bets on how long they’ll last?
