President Donald Trump announced on Friday he halted military strikes against Iran. He stated Iran and other Middle Eastern nations requested the United States postpone any attack. Trump indicated that these countries had reached an agreement on "the perimeters of a deal." Trump made the announcement after a trip to Camp David, the presidential retreat.
