On August 2, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump announced the cancellation of a planned military strike against Iran. Trump stated that the decision followed explicit requests from Iran and other Middle Eastern countries to avoid military action, after reaching preliminary agreements on key principles for a new deal. The agreements include the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to maritime traffic and steps to end Iran's nuclear threat.

Trump emphasized that the United States was fully prepared for a powerful military operation against the Islamic Republic of Iran, describing the readiness as unmatched since World War II. However, diplomatic overtures from Iran and regional states led to postponing the attack. The president underscored that Israel is a partner in this diplomatic effort and called on all parties to expedite negotiations toward a final agreement.

In his statement, Trump framed the cancellation as a move to secure the future of the world and Iran's survival, but stressed that the halt is conditional on rapid progress in the peace talks. He urged all involved to work decisively to resolve the crisis without further delays, highlighting the joint commitment of the U.S. and Israel to the emerging political process.
