  "summary": "US President Donald Trump has decided to postpone plans for major strikes on Iran, following a phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The move comes as a response to concerns that Iran might retaliate against the Kingdom and other Gulf states. Trump stated that the US would hold off on strikes, provided a deal can be reached quickly, and that Israel had \"joined him in this commitment.\" However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not yet commented on the decision.",
