Trump says he canceled Iran strikes after a deal framework tied to Hormuz and nuclear terms
President Donald Trump made multiple posts on Truth Social in the last hour: A. is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II. Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack in that the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to.

This would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran's nuclear threat. Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL.
The Country of Israel joins me in this commitment. Get to work, everybody, and get it DONE.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!" - "RT @realDonaldTrumpI disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro, the U. Attorney for the District of Columbia, on the Reflecting Pool.

I don't know what she was thinking? To me, it was a pure case of VANDALISM, that included the grass, which had a big 86 47 emblazoned in giant letters on it, and other elements of the surrounding area.
There may have been some contractor difficulty, but the major damage was caused by VANDALS!"

The main signal is an apparent de-escalation on Iran, with Trump saying he canceled a planned attack after receiving a request tied to a deal framework that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end Iran's nuclear threat. That is a major geopolitical message because it suggests active crisis bargaining around one of the world's most sensitive energy chokepoints and around Iran's nuclear program, which has driven years of sanctions, covert action, U.S. pressure campaigns, and repeated regional military tensions.
If true, the post implies an urgent diplomatic window, but also a very high risk of rapid reversal if talks stall. The likely market and security impact is immediate, lower near-term strike risk, possible relief in oil and shipping risk pricing, and heightened focus on whether this is a real negotiating opening or leverage messaging.
The reference to Israel joining the commitment underscores that Washington is framing the moment as coordinated pressure plus diplomacy, not unilateral restraint. Historically, Trump has paired maximum pressure on Iran with sudden public bargaining signals, while prior U.S. efforts, including the 2015 nuclear deal and its later abandonment, show how quickly negotiations can reshape regional risk and energy markets.
