For 24 hours, the war and the peace deal happened simultaneously. By Thursday night, Trump said one of them had won.
President Donald Trump says he has cancelled strikes on Iran planned for tonight, saying a deal with Iran is expected to soon be “finalized.” Iran did not confirm that a deal had been reached. The apparent easing of tensions follows a second day of strikes between the two countries after a US military helicopter was downed.
What Triggered Thursday’s Strikes
US Central Command said it had launched another round of strikes on Iran after Trump said Wednesday that Tehran had “taken too long to negotiate a deal” and would “pay the price.” Kuwait and Bahrain activated air defenses while Jordan’s military intercepted 20 Iranian missiles heading toward Al Azraq, where an American base is located. Defense Secretary Hegseth said, “If we need to negotiate with bombs, we’ll negotiate with bombs.”
What the Deal “Conceptually” Covers
Trump acknowledged the deal he is touting only “conceptually” deals with Iran’s nuclear material. The memorandum of understanding will include a commitment from Iran not to obtain a nuclear weapon, but specifics on uranium stockpiles are left for subsequent talks.
Netanyahu Distances Israel
Netanyahu says Israel is not a party to the emerging deal announced by Trump. Trump has moved away from demands on ballistic missiles or terrorism support, issues Iran says it will not discuss.
A deal that is “approved” by one side and unconfirmed by the other. A ceasefire that broke twice in 48 hours. And an ally saying it’s not even part of the agreement. June 12 in the Iran war, summarized in three sentences.
