Trump Cancels Iran Strike, Claims "Deal Perimeters" Reached — Second Time in Two Months

President Trump announced on August 2, 2026 that he cancelled a planned military strike on Iran, citing "deal perimeters" reached in ongoing talks. This mirrors a June 11 sequence: Trump threatened strikes, called them off, and claimed a deal was imminent. Iran responded then that it "has not reached a final conclusion." Tehran has not yet publicly responded to the August announcement.
