  "summary": "US President Donald Trump said he cancelled a planned attack on Iran after the country and other Middle Eastern nations requested a halt. According to Trump, the proposed agreement would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end Iran's nuclear threat. Israel reportedly backed this decision to finalize the agreement, as per the Times of India.\n\nThe cancellation of the attack comes after the US had reportedly planned new, intense strikes on Iran. Tehran had accused the US of escalating tensions, warning that any regional state cooperating with Washington would face consequences. The US government has urged Americans in the Middle East to be alert and prepared for potential travel disruptions.\n\nSome officials have described Trump's statements as a \"desperate attempt to blackmail Gulf state rulers,\" according to the Jerusalem Post. Trump stated that he agreed to cancel the operation if a deal could be rapidly made, with Israel also supporting this decision.",
