Trump cancels attacks on Iran and returns to talking about a peace agreement; Tehran says it has not approved anything

Trump cancels attacks on Iran and talks again about a peace agreement
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced this Thursday (11) that he has canceled the wave of attacks on Iran that he had ordered to occur throughout the day. Trump said he had decided to cancel it after negotiators reached a consensus on "final points" of the agreement to end the war in the Middle East.

The North American president did not make it clear, however, whether there was a consensus also with Iran. In a post on his social network Truth Social, where he made the announcement, he only stated that mediators "and others" agreed with the points.
Minutes after Trump's speech, however, Iran stated that the country has not yet approved any agreement. "No text for the initial memorandum of understanding with the United States has been approved," state agency Fars said.
But, in the publication, Trump said that the "transaction" of negotiations has been finalized and that the "date and place" of the signing will be announced soon. He also said the talks were taken "to the highest level of Iranian leadership."
"Considering that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been taken to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved, I, as President of the United States of America, have canceled the strikes and bombings scheduled against Iran for tonight," Trump declared.
The announcement took place minutes before the official start of the 2026 World Cup, with the opening ceremony in Mexico. Until the last update of this report, there was still no information as to whether Trump's announcement had any connection with the football tournament. The USA is one of three countries that will host the event, alongside Mexico and Canada, and the Iranian team will compete in the championship.
New attacks
USA and Iran resume attacks in the Persian Gulf
Since Tuesday (9), the United States and Iran have returned to exchanging attacks, even under a ceasefire agreement signed by both parties.
The new escalation began after the crash of a military helicopter belonging to US forces during a flight over the Strait of Hormuz region. After the episode, Trump accused Iran of having attacked the aircraft and said he would have to fight back.
On the same night, the US bombed defense systems on Iranian territory and radars in Hormuz. Iran responded with attacks on a US base in Bahrain. On Wednesday (10), the USA carried out a new attack, responded by Tehran with missiles launched again at countries in the Persian Gulf.
Iran announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and said the escalation further complicated talks for a peace deal, as well as making the ceasefire currently in effect "meaningless."
