President Donald Trump announced a decision to halt planned strikes against Iran, opting instead to allow diplomatic efforts to continue. This decision was influenced by appeals from Gulf allies, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar, who expressed concerns about the potential escalation of conflict. The emerging deal reportedly includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and a resolution to U.S. concerns regarding Iran's nuclear program, though Iran has indicated that the waterway's status will not revert to its pre-war condition.
