Donald Trump hints at new Iran deal that could end war - 'US is locked and loaded' It comes as the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom’s de facto leader, expressed in a phone call with Trump his concerns about the US potentially escalating the conflict with Iran Donald Trump has claimed that Mideast allies have reached the parameters of a deal to end the Iran war while warning that the United States remains 'locked and loaded' and ready to launch an attack. In a post on Truth Social on Saturday evening local time, the President told the world that the United States will hold off on launching any further attack as the 'perimeters' of a deal has been agreed. He says this would include the Strait of the Hormuz being totally reopened and Iran committing to 'ending its nuclear threat'. Trump claims Israel is also committed to forming a deal and not furthering the escalation of the conflict. The post on Truth Social stated: "The U.S.A. 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. This would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran’s nuclear threat. "Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL. "The Country of Israel joins me in this commitment. Get to work, everybody, and get it DONE. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP." It comes as Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom’s de facto leader, expressed in a phone call with Trump his concerns about the US potentially escalating the conflict with Iran, according to a person familiar with the leaders’ discussion. The Saudis, according to the person briefed on the substance of the call but not authorized to comment publicly, are concerned that if the US targets Iran’s energy infrastructure or carries out massive strikes on other key infrastructure that Tehran could respond by carrying out attacks on the kingdom’s and other Gulf countries’ energy infrastructure. The crown prince during Saturday’s call sought clarity from Trump on what potential new action he’s weighing to take against Iran, the person said. A White House official, who was not authorised to comment publicly and requested anonymity, confirmed the leaders spoke on Saturday but did not offer any detail about the substance of their conversation.
