Trump cancels planned strikes on Iran to allow for talks on peace deal

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on August 2, 2026, the cancellation of a massive planned military strike against Iranian energy infrastructure. The decision was reportedly influenced by requests from regional leaders to finalize a framework for a peace deal that includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and ending the Iranian nuclear threat. The strikes had been imminent following weeks of escalation, including Houthi attacks on Gulf shipping and Iranian drone intercepts by Kuwaiti air defenses.
