The U.S. has agreed to pause attacks on Iran, President Donald Trump said Saturday, amid what he said were the “perimeters of a deal” that would include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

“We have 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,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “This would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran’s nuclear threat.”

The president said the U.S. was “locked and loaded and ready to go” but that he agreed to cancel attacks “subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL.”

He added that Israel, the U.S. partner in the war with Iran, “joins me in this commitment.”

“Get to work, everybody, and get it DONE,” Trump said of a possible new agreement.
