Last-Minute Drama: Iran Calls Off Planned Strike on Israel
President Donald Trump said Sunday evening that the United States and Iran have reached an agreement that is set to be signed on Friday in Switzerland. In the hours before the announcement, Trump had pressed Iran not to retaliate against Israel for an earlier strike in Beirut.
According to the report, Iran initially insisted on attacking, but additional concessions were added to the deal. The Iranian Fars news agency, which is linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, reported that Iran decided not to strike Israel after Trump proposed an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon and the immediate lifting of the naval blockade.
Other reports said Iran ultimately agreed at the last moment to cancel the planned attack. The article does not say whether the new agreement has already taken effect, only that the signing is expected on Friday in Switzerland.
