Trump Halts the Strike: Iran Declares Victory while Threatening the Gulf
(Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs) Iran-Syria Desk - The Iranian press reframed the decision by President Trump to halt a planned strike against Iran as an American surrender. However, Trump's announcement did not constitute a surrender or an end to the war. The American president emphasized that the military remained ready to act and that the suspension of the strike was contingent upon reaching a rapid agreement that must include the immediate and complete reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the elimination of Iran's nuclear threat.
