Trump threatens to take Kharg Island, then cancels planned strikes saying Iran's leadership approved deal terms
Reportedon one origin only: 0 distinct origins, 0 tied to no party.
On 11 June President Trump posted that the US would soon take Kharg Island and other oil infrastructure, then about five hours later said he had cancelled strikes planned for that evening because discussions had been approved at the highest level of Iran's leadership, and that the naval blockade would stay until a deal was finalized. Iran had not confirmed his claims; its foreign ministry said the US strikes made the 8 April ceasefire 'practically meaningless', and the Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters warned of a more severe response to further attacks. Netanyahu said Israel was not party to the emerging agreement.
