Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston.
President Trump says the U.S.
Has paused a possible military strike against Iran.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Iran and other countries in the region
asked Washington to hold off because the outlines of a deal had been reached.
NPR's Frank Langford reports from Tel Aviv.
President Trump wrote on social media Saturday night.
That the U.S.
Was, quote, locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, end quote.
But then he said Iran and other Middle Eastern countries had asked him to hold off,
subject to rapidly making a deal, one that would include the immediate
and total reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to Iran's nuclear threat.
Mayor, a semi-official news agency sponsored by the Iranian government,
dismissed Trump's claims as, quote, simply a new lie, citing unnamed Iranian military officials.
