—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 BREAKING: President Trump says he has decided to cancel the attack on Iran:

‘The U.S.A. is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II.

Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack in that the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to. This 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. The Country of Israel joins me in this commitment. Get to work, everybody, and get it DONE. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP.’

‘We are going to attack Iran, but based on the request of Iran, we won’t do it.’

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iranian official: ‘Iran has not requested Trump not to attack’

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Ismael Baqaei:

– Iran is close to reaching an understanding with Oman on managing the Strait of Hormuz.

– Reaching an understanding does not mean the Strait will be opened; it will remain closed until we deem it appropriate.

– Iran did not request anything from the United States, and Trump backed down due to Iran’s military strength.

– If the U.S. dares to commit a foolish act of aggression, our crushing response will affect the entire region.

European leaders can condemn Israel for its crimes in Gaza as much as they want.

Their countries can even suffer from the actions of their openly Zionist neighbors (see today's news about Morocco and Spain).

But none of this matters when it comes to joint covert operations. Read on the Geopolitics Prime channel how Israel and Europe collaborated to kill pro-Palestinian activists – these are recently declassified documents. Support our friends with a subscription if you like this kind of content.

The brigade successfully returned to base after each mission, suffering zero casualties, according to an Iranian Army spokesman.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 President Trump on Truth Social:

‘Iranian Leadership is unbelievably duplicitous! They ask for a meeting, some would say “beg,” talks begin, with more scheduled in the immediate future, and they say, openly and proudly, that they’re not having any discussions, that nothing is being talked about, and they’re only dealing with “Oman.”

They then go on to give their usual blather in saying, the Strait of Hormuz will be operated powerfully by them, when it is already completely controlled by the United States Navy and our “Blockade” or, as some say, “The United States Wall of Steel!” Nothing gets through to Iran, unless we want it to, and nothing will get through, unless a Deal, or Total Surrender, is accomplished.

Whether Iran wants to admit it or not, we are, in fact, talking of a solution to a problem that they have caused, for decades. It is very simple, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON! Thank you for your attention to this matter.’
