The United States will not attack Iran overnight, Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Thursday. The message marks a sharp turn after he had earlier in the day warned that the US could strike Iran "very hard".

Trump also suggested that a peace agreement could be signed soon, although he did not provide any details about what such a deal would involve. For now, it remains unclear whether the statement signals a broader shift in US policy or only a temporary pause in rhetoric.

HBL reported the post on Thursday evening. The development comes amid heightened tensions between the US and Iran, but Trump’s latest message indicates that an immediate military strike is off the table.
