  "account": "President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he has canceled a planned attack on Iran, following a request from Tehran and its regional neighbors. The agreement reached includes the immediate, complete, and total opening of the Hormuz Strait, as well as an end to Iran's nuclear threat. Trump stated that he agreed to cancel the attack for the benefit of the world and to ensure the survival of a prosperous Iran, contingent upon the ability to quickly reach a deal. The United States remains prepared to strike Iran forcefully. Iran's acting Defense Minister cautioned that the enemy's recent statements are part of a psychological and cognitive warfare campaign, and Iran takes every threat seriously. Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman emphasized the need for dialogue to reduce escalation and achieve calm in a phone call with Trump. Embassies in the Middle East warned American citizens to exercise caution and be prepared for flight cancellations amid growing tensions. The ongoing conflict has led to a temporary ceasefire breaking down, with neither side giving way on key issues such as Iran's nuclear program and control of shipping through the Hormuz Strait. Recent U.S. strikes have been met with Iranian attacks, expanding the conflict beyond its initial scope.",
  "summary": "The U.S. president said Iran and its regional neighbors asked the U.S. to hold off any attacks after 'the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to'.",
