Trump Cancels Iran Strikes, Citing Imminent Deal on Hormuz and Nuclear Threat

Why this is news
⚡ Counters the mainstream narrative — Mainstream news reports Trump's claim of canceling strikes due to hope for a quick deal and progress toward one. However, it largely misses the direct denial from Iranian officials on social media that any such request was made or deal is in progress, which fundamentally undermines Trump's stated reason for the cancellation.
