  "summary": "US President Donald Trump halted planned military strikes on Iran. Democratic Senator Mark Kelly criticized the Trump administration, saying it had no strategic goal, plan, or timeline for its actions.\n\nThe decision to pause strikes was announced by Trump, who also said Israel had joined him in this commitment. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not commented on the matter. According to The Hill, Republican Senator James Lankford argued that President Trump \"has no desire\" to bomb Iran and is focused on getting a deal.\n\nIran has denied Trump's claims that it had agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and had asked the US to hold off on fresh military strikes. According to Live Mint, Iran said the strategic waterway would remain closed as long as the US continued its \"hostile actions\".",
