United States President Donald Trump announced on 2 August 2026 that planned US and Israeli military strikes on Iran would be cancelled, contingent on the rapid finalisation of a deal framework involving Iran and several Middle Eastern countries.

The decision followed heightened tensions, recent attacks, and diplomatic interventions from regional leaders, including Saudi Arabia, as well as warnings from Iran regarding potential retaliation against neighbouring states.
