US President Donald Trump has said he has decided “to cancel the attack” against Iran upon request from Middle Eastern countries, despite being “locked and loaded”.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said, “The USA is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran,” but added that the US had “just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack in that the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to”.

“I have agreed, for the future benefit for the WORLD and likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack,” he said.
