  "summary": "US President Donald Trump said he had agreed to hold off on a fresh attack on Iran after being asked by Iran and other regional countries to do so. According to Trump, they requested time to complete a deal that would lead to the immediate, complete, and total reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to Iran's nuclear threat.\n\nIran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had informed his Turkish, Pakistani, and Saudi counterparts that Iran would act decisively in the event of any further US aggression. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had targeted a US F-35 repair hangar and ramp at Al-Azraq Base in Jordan with multiple ballistic missiles.\n\nThe Opec+ group agreed to increase crude oil output for a sixth consecutive month in September, adding 188,000 barrels per day. The group will continue to hold monthly meetings to review market conditions.",
