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 issues. These agreements include the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and steps toward ending Iran's nuclear threat. Trump emphasized that the United States was fully prepared for a powerful military operation, describing the readiness as unmatched since World War II. However, diplomatic overtures led to postponing the strike.

He called on all parties to expedite negotiations to finalize the deal swiftly, warning that the cancellation of the strike depends on rapid progress. The president framed the move as essential for the future stability of the world and the survival of Iran.

In his statement, Trump urged all involved to work decisively to resolve the crisis, underscoring that any delays could jeopardize the diplomatic breakthrough.
