Trump cancels planned strikes on Iran and claims a peace deal is imminent.
President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he had canceled scheduled military strikes on Iran, stating that discussions had reached a high level and a deal was close. Iranian officials acknowledged progress in talks but stated that no final decision on an agreement had been made. The conflict, which began in late February, has involved exchanges of strikes between the U.S., Iran, and Israel, and has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

The split, in one line
Trump and U.S.-focused outlets frame the cancellation as a breakthrough with a deal approved by Iran's leadership. International outlets and Iran's own statements present a far more cautious picture, emphasizing that nothing has been finalized and highlighting continued regional hostilities.
