On Saturday 1 August, Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he and Israel had agreed to suspend a large-scale American strike on Iran planned for that weekend, at the request of Tehran and other Middle Eastern countries, on condition that a deal be reached quickly. That deal would provide for the "immediate, complete and total" reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to the Iranian nuclear threat.
