US President Donald Trump made a sensational statement that the United States had planned a military strike on Iran of unprecedented scale, but canceled the operation at the last moment. This is reported by RBC-Ukraine citing The Economic Times. According to the head of the White House, preparations for this strike were completed, and it could have been the largest since the end of World War II. However, the implementation of the plan was postponed after representatives of the Iranian regime allegedly personally contacted Trump and asked to stop the aggression in order to begin negotiations. ### "Beating the nonsense out of them" and the desire for peace Trump described the current US strategy towards Tehran as a process of "beating all the nonsense" out of the regime. At the same time, he emphasized that his priority remains a diplomatic resolution of the conflict. "We are beating all the nonsense out of them. But I would prefer to make a deal because I don't want to kill people. However, at a certain point, we were preparing for the largest attack of all, and over the last few months we have been hitting them with very powerful strikes. We were fully prepared for the largest attack since World War II," the president stated. According to him, the cancellation of the attack occurred after a direct phone call with the Iranian side. "And they called me and said: 'Please don't do this, let's talk'. And then they say: 'We never said that'. You know what? Fake media knows that they really did say it," Trump added, accusing Iranian authorities of trying to hide the fact of negotiations. ### Contradictory data A certain uncertainty has arisen around Trump's statement, related to the position of official Tehran. If Washington claims that Iran personally asked to stop the attack, then Iranian authorities, according to the president, subsequently deny this fact. Furthermore, in the context of these statements, it is worth noting that Iran previously threatened to attack Gulf countries in the event of a resumption of US strikes in the Middle East. This creates a complex geopolitical picture where official rhetoric contradicts, in Trump's opinion, the real actions of diplomats. ### Current situation and prospects The head of the White House assured that negotiations with Tehran are continuing, although he did not reveal details on how events would develop further. Earlier, Trump announced the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, which became an important step in de-escalating tensions in the region. Against the backdrop of these events, information also surfaced about a conflict between the US President and the head of the Pentagon, the reasons for which remain a subject of discussion in the media. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Trump says he called off Iran attack after framework for agreement emerged - CryptoRank](https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMijwFBVV95cUxNNUFZOHpBR3hBNUF0T28wRDVHcm5xVXMxQkhNYllWOXBaWnYyWXhpRm12NXNScHJfb3Y1S1dyTElwTldFZVRsSHJOUmFiREx4SWJTZGVlOFpfbUZlekwtMG90Nk5QbmppOHg2Tm1BSHFZbUV0dnBBVmpvMVoyZ3V3U3l6eEZUUDg5emo4REE1TQ?oc=5) - Подтверждает заявление о том, что Трамп отменил атаку после появления рамок соглашения. - [Trump Says U.S.-Iran Talks Will Start Tomorrow - Binance](https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiaEFVX3lxTE9hSXdTRGp2Z3JDWHNWeUFsSDc3NzhoN0hzLWRxMENvQ2lKZzZXVDd5WmUxQ3NKWDVpTkRjc1owZVRkdW0yVzZJeDh5NjhXanVGVVM4M185SEZBd1RaV2x4QU4zY2FSNVhT?oc=5) - Подтверждает заявление о том, что Трамп отменил атаку после появления рамок соглашения.
