Arabic version: ترامب يؤجل الهجمات على إيران مشروطًا بفتح مضيق هرمز

US President Donald Trump says he has agreed to extend his threatened deadline to attack Iran by two weeks, if Iran immediately re-opens the Strait of Hormuz. This statement was made via a post on his Truth Social platform.

The decision to delay comes after Trump indicated earlier in the day that Iran would face widespread attacks on civilian infrastructure. The shift in strategy highlights the ongoing complexities in US-Iran relations, particularly regarding vital shipping routes.

According to Al Jazeera, the announcement reflects a tactical adjustment in response to regional dynamics and international shipping concerns.

The Strait of Hormuz is a crucial passage for global oil shipments, and any disruption could have significant implications for international markets and security.
