Trump says he will hold off on fresh Iran attack in hope of quick deal
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.
US President Donald Trump announced on August 1 that the United States would temporarily halt plans for a fresh attack on Iran, provided a rapid deal could be reached to end Iran's nuclear ambitions and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The statement came after a conversation with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, a US ally. In the post, Trump assured the world and Iran that he would cancel the attack if a quick deal could be made.
