US President Trump said on August 2, local time, that the US will hold negotiations with Iran the next day. Iran has yet to respond to this. When asked why the planned strike was cancelled, Trump said, “It would have been a large-scale strike operation, the largest since World War II,” but allies such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar requested the cancellation of the operation. He also believes that the US and Iran can reach an agreement on the Strait of Hormuz and will also reach an agreement on Iran's nuclear issue. Trump said that Iran also requested the US to cancel the planned strike action, and said “We are now in dialogue with them in the form of negotiations.” He also added, “Negotiations will begin tomorrow afternoon.”
