United States regime leader Donald Trump announced the cancellation of a third consecutive night of planned attacks on Iran, claiming that talks with Tehran were close to producing a deal.

The announcement marked a dramatic turnaround. Just hours earlier, Trump had warned that Iran would be hit “very hard” and threatened to target Kharg Island and other oil facilities.

Reporting from Tehran, Al Jazeera’s correspondent said a senior Iranian official confirmed that a proposed memorandum of understanding with the US regime was being considered by Iran’s top leadership.

Iranian authorities stated they are closely monitoring the situation and that negotiations continue. Analysts view this decision as an attempt to de-escalate tensions between the two countries.

The US regime’s move has drawn mixed reactions from the international community. Some states expressed hope for a peaceful resolution, while others criticized the inconsistency between Washington’s earlier threats and its current position.
