US Suspends Military Action Against Iran Amid Diplomatic Push

US President Donald Trump has announced the cancellation of planned military strikes against Iran, just hours after warning that Tehran would face heavy attacks.

Trump said the decision followed progress in negotiations, claiming that discussions had reached Iran’s highest leadership levels and that key terms had been approved by parties involved in the talks. However, Iranian authorities had not publicly confirmed the claim as of Thursday evening.

The announcement marks a sharp shift from earlier threats of further military action after recent exchanges of strikes between the two countries. Trump said a US-led naval blockade would remain in place pending the completion of a final agreement.

The situation remains fluid, with uncertainty surrounding the status of negotiations and the extent of Iran’s commitment to any proposed deal. Analysts note that key details of the reported agreement have yet to be independently verified.

Meanwhile, India confirmed that three of its nationals were killed in a US strike on a vessel near Oman, while US officials acknowledged attacks on multiple ships in recent days amid the broader regional crisis.
