Trump says he is cancelling strikes on Iran subject to deal being made ‘rapidly’

Donald Trump says he has cancelled strikes against Iran provided a deal was struck "rapidly" with the country.

The US president claims Iran and other Middle Eastern countries asked Washington to hold off on any attack as the "perimeters" of a deal had been agreed.

The U.S. has agreed to pause attacks on Iran, President Donald Trump said Saturday, amid what he said were the “perimeters of a deal” being agreed upon, which would include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
