Trump says Iran agreed to ‘perimeters’ of a peace deal, cancels planned US attack
The New York Post ^ | 08/01/2026 | Ariel Zibler

President Trump on Saturday night said he agreed to halt a planned attack against Iran – after the Islamic Republic and other Middle Eastern countries agreed to the framework of a peace deal.

“The U.S.A. is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The president said Iran and other governments in the region asked the US “to hold off any attack” because “the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to.”

According to Trump, the proposed agreement would include the “Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT” and “an end to Iran’s nuclear threat.”

“Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack,” Trump wrote, adding that the decision is contingent on the parties being able to “rapidly make a DEAL.”

Who didn’t see this coming? More importantly, who wants TACOs?

If we could only run wars on those little blue pills instead of air defense missiles we would not have a POTUS doing this song and dance IMHO.

I wonder if he meant parameters. Now what’s the over and under on the number of days before the IRGC sends a drone or missile against a Kuwaiti tanker. I say 3 is the under.

“perimeters of a deal”?
What does that even mean?!

How many more times and how many more deals are we going to be close to? These shia Muslims are LIARS!

Way beyond embarrassing, but what’s the alternative as far as leadership?

More like the penumbra of a potential, possible, but very malleable, memorandum of understanding. Rinse, repeat…

This is embarrassing.

USA is simply not a reliable ally for anybody, anywhere anymore.

No, you’re the wimp.

Being a wimp started when you came to believe life is a video game to be turned on and off whenever you feel like it.

He’s a wimp and you are clueless, again. He talks big constantly and blows up a few trucks and stops. His war policy is even worse than Johnson’s Vietnam tactics. Jimmy Carter would be so proud. Truth hurts bud. Don’t think every dictator in the world has not figured out how to play him like a cheap fiddle. The Cuban government can sleep sound tonight. The Taiwan government not so sound.
