U.S. President Trump stated that, in response to requests from Iran and other Middle Eastern countries, the United States will suspend new military strikes against Iran, as both sides have reached a consensus on an agreement framework. Previously, U.S. sources indicated that America and Israel were planning a fierce bombing campaign targeting Iran's energy infrastructure, an operation that could last throughout the weekend.

Trump posted on Truth Social, saying he received requests from Iran and other Middle Eastern nations to halt any attacks, as a basic framework for an agreement has already been agreed upon, and he stated, "I have agreed to cancel this attack."

He said: "This agreement will include the immediate, full, and complete reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, as well as the end of Iran's nuclear threat."

Trump wrote: "Based on this request, for the benefit of the world's future and so that Iran can continue to exist as a successful and prosperous nation, I have agreed to cancel this attack, provided that all parties quickly reach a formal agreement."

He also called on everyone: "Let’s get moving and get this done." Trump added that Israel will also jointly abide by this commitment.

The U.S. State Department issued a broad security alert to U.S. citizens in the Middle East on Saturday (the 1st), advising them to consider evacuating or preparing for rapid departure.

According to prior U.S. reports, the United States and Israel were planning the "most intense bombing campaign to date" against Iranian energy infrastructure targets, with operations potentially lasting the entire weekend, targeting power plants, refineries, and other energy facilities.

Notably, plans to cut off electricity supply to Tehran, Iran's capital, were also under discussion.

Additionally, according to informed sources, U.S. Central Command Commander Cooper drafted an escalation plan involving 10 to 14 days of high-intensity bombing aimed at significantly weakening Iran's missile strike capabilities and breaking the current stalemate.

However, Trump has not yet issued the final order to proceed.

At the time, the U.S. State Department warned personnel to remain cautious and vigilant, preparing for potential flight cancellations, temporary airspace closures, and other travel disruptions. The notice also emphasized that U.S. citizens planning to travel to the Middle East should seriously reconsider their travel plans.

On the same day, U.S. embassies in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Oman, and Israel each issued security alerts, urging U.S. citizens to remain vigilant and closely monitor local security conditions.
