President Donald Trump announced he has called off a scheduled military strike against Iran. The planned attack, set for Tuesday, was postponed as President Trump cited ongoing "serious negotiations" aimed at a peace deal.
President Trump stated he had authorized new strikes but decided to hold off. He indicated the decision to postpone came at the request of leaders from Gulf states in the Middle East. Despite the halt, President Trump instructed the military to remain ready "on a moment's notice."
President Trump also warned that the United States is prepared for a "large scale assault" should the peace talks ultimately fail. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
