  "summary": "The United States and Israel have agreed to hold off on new strikes on Iran, provided a deal is reached \"rapidly\", according to US President Donald Trump. The US had reportedly been preparing for a massive attack on Iranian targets, with Trump claiming the US was \"locked and loaded\" and ready to go against Iran.\n\nAccording to Middle East Eye, citing US officials, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had urged Trump to de-escalate tensions and refrain from launching strikes. Trump said he had cancelled the strikes, contingent on a deal involving the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's commitment to denuclearisation.\n\nIran has vowed a decisive response to any new aggression, but did not offer an immediate public reaction to Trump's announcement. The US and Israel are seeking a \"rapid\" deal to end the months-long conflict.",
