In a shocking revelation, former President Donald Trump has claimed that progress towards a deal led him to call off a series of military strikes against Iran just hours before they were set to take place. According to sources close to the President, a last-minute diplomatic effort had been underway, and Trump's advisors were urging restraint. The potential strike, which would have marked a significant escalation in tensions between the US and Iran, was reportedly put on hold after Trump received a briefing on the latest developments. The exact nature of the deal remains unclear, but Trump's decision to call off the strikes has sparked intense speculation about the role of diplomacy in resolving the crisis.
