(1st UPDATE) US President Donald Trump's apparent de-escalation after days of threats of new attacks from each side marks the latest turn in the war the US and Israel launched five months ago

U.S. President Donald Trump said the cancellation of attacks on Iran was contingent on a peace deal being quickly reached.

Iran warned the US this weekend against any “adventurous action” and said it would retaliate decisively if American forces followed through on Trump's threats of fresh attacks on Iranian targets.

By Yasmine Ghania and Menna AlaaElDin CAIRO, August 2 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said late on Saturday he would hold off on a fresh attack on Iran as long as a deal could be reached quickly to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
