WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he has agreed to hold off fresh attacks against Iran.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the United States "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."
"Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack in that the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to," he said.
