US President Donald Trump on Thursday announced that he has withdrawn recent threats of military strikes against Iran, just hours after warning of a possible escalation in tensions.
In a post on social media, Trump said the decision was taken after discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran reached the highest levels of the Iranian leadership and received approval.
The US president also indicated that progress had been made in efforts to extend the fragile ceasefire in the region. According to Trump, key discussions and final points have been agreed upon in principle and in detail by the United States, Israel and other regional allies.
However, Trump did not provide specific details regarding the negotiations or the nature of the understandings reached.
The development comes amid heightened tensions in the region, where diplomatic efforts are continuing to prevent further escalation and maintain stability. Observers are closely monitoring the situation for any further announcements from Washington, Tehran and regional stakeholders.
