Trump Cancels Planned Iran Strike, Cites August 3 Talks

President Trump said he called off a planned US strike on Iran — one he described as "the biggest attack since World War II" — to allow negotiations beginning August 3, 2026. He called a deal "imminent," citing the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil shipping chokepoint, and Iran's denuclearisation. No details on participants, location, or deadline were given. Prior 2026 rounds failed.
