Trump Backs Down on Iran Strikes in Expectation of 'Rapidly' Reaching a Deal The past few months have been marked by a series of twists and turns in US Iran relations, with tensions escalating rapidly.
The latest development involves Donald Trump's decision to call off planned military strikes against Iran, citing the prospect of "rapidly" reaching a deal on its nuclear program and the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
On one level, Trump's move can be seen as a pragmatic response to pressure from regional players like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
