Nahost: Trump setzt Angriffe gegen Iran vorerst aus
Der US-Präsident knüpft den Verzicht auf Angriffe gegen den Iran an eine rasche Einigung über die Straße von Hormus und das iranische Atomprogramm. Israel schließe sich der Entscheidung an, so Trump. Aus Jerusalem gab es zunächst keine Bestätigung.
US President Trump has postponed a potential attack on Iran, citing progress in negotiations between the two nations. According to Trump, Iran and other Middle Eastern countries had requested the US to hold off on the attack as a deal had been agreed upon. The deal would include the immediate opening of the Hormuz Strait and an end to Iran's nuclear threat.
Axios reports that Trump made the announcement on his Truth Social account, stating that he had agreed to cancel the attack for the benefit of the world and the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran. The decision was made subject to being able to rapidly make a deal.
The Handelsblatt reports that Trump also stated Israel had agreed to the decision, although there was no immediate confirmation from Jerusalem. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had expressed concern over the strike plans in a conversation with Trump, and other regional powers had also pressed the US and Iran to de-escalate.
