Iran War Day 156: Trump Cancels Anticipated Strikes, Iran Denies Claims of Hormuz Deal
On Saturday night, President Donald Trump called off anticipated airstrikes on Iran, claiming that Iran had agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end its “nuclear threat.” But Iran denied that any such agreement had been reached, as the Iran War entered its 156th day on Sunday. In the Truth Social post in which he made the announcement, Trump said that, while the U.S. is prepared to attack Iran “at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II,” the U.S. and Israel will “hold off any attack” because “the perimeters of a deal” had been agreed to. Shortly thereafter, Iran’s Mehr News agency, citing Iranian military officials, called Trump’s claim “nothing but a new lie,” while the Fars news agency likewise reported that no agreement on Hormuz had been reached.
