Cancels Planned Military Strike on Iran at the Request of Middle Eastern Allies —Trump stated that the planned military strike against Iran scheduled for tomorrow (the 19th) is being canceled.

Again mocking some US media for distorting the truth —Trump posted on social media: If Iran surrenders and admits defeat to the United States, then the failed New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the corrupt and now irrelevant CNN, and all other fake news outlets will be reporting on their headlines: Iran has won a great victory over the United States, and by a huge margin. Democrats and the media have completely lost their way. 5. Believing the chances of reaching a deal with Iran seem high —Trump: (Regarding Iran) If we can reach a deal that prevents them from acquiring nuclear weapons, we might be satisfied. Iran must confirm its commitment not to possess nuclear weapons in writing, and I think we've made a lot of progress on Iran. The chances of reaching a deal seem high. 6.
