Trump Cancels Iran Strike, Cites 'Deal Perimeters' Reached

President Trump announced he cancelled a planned large-scale US-Israeli strike on Iran's energy infrastructure, saying a deal framework had been reached that would open the Strait of Hormuz and end Iran's nuclear threat, following mediation from Saudi Arabia. This near-miss escalation reflects the volatile "wars and rumors of wars" dynamic in the Middle East that Scripture describes as characteristic of the last days, with Iran's nuclear ambitions and threats against Israel remaining a persistent flashpoint even amid diplomatic reprieve.
