  "account": "In a recent statement, former US President Donald Trump urged for an immediate agreement with Iran, claiming he had canceled a significant attack against the nation and received support from Israel. The US military, Trump declared, is prepared for \"Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II.\"\n\nHowever, Iran and other Middle Eastern countries have requested Trump and other world leaders to cease any military action until a deal is reached. In his recent post, Trump highlighted that a deal would require the complete opening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to Iran's nuclear threat. In response to this request, Trump agreed to halt the attack, pending the possibility of rapidly concluding a deal.\n\nEarlier on Saturday, Israeli sources informed The Jerusalem Post that Israel had increased its military readiness, anticipating Trump's decision to resume military strikes on Iran. Israeli officials revealed that they are currently on high alert and awaiting the president's final decision. It was also reported that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had urged Trump to reconsider potential large-scale military strikes on Iran during a telephone conversation on Saturday.",
  "summary": "According to the Associated Press, US President Donald Trump said he will order American forces to hold off on new strikes against Iran, claiming Mideast allies had reached the parameters of a deal to end the five-month old war. The Jerusalem Post reports that Trump claimed the US is \"locked and loaded\" against Iran, but the Associated Press states that Trump agreed to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a deal.\n\nThe Associated Press also reports that the emerging deal would include the immediate and total opening of the Hormuz Strait and an end to Iran's nuclear threat. The New York Times and the Associated Press both state that Trump said he agreed to requests from Iran and other Middle Eastern countries to cancel planned attacks, citing progress in reaching a deal with Tehran. The Associated Press adds that Israel agreed to join the US in the commitment to try to complete the agreement with Iran.\n\nMiddle East Eye reports that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman called Trump and urged him to de-escalate tensions and refrain from launching strikes against Iran. ABC News AU simply states that Donald Trump says the US will hold off on fresh strikes against Iran, as Middle East allies have agreed to parameters of a deal to end the war.",
