美国总统特朗普宣布取消计划中的大规模军事打击，改为与伊朗进行谈判[1][2]。特朗普表示谈判将于周一下午开始[2]，并声称新一轮谈判有望就霍尔木兹海峡通行和伊朗核问题达成协议[2]。他在Truth Social平台上表示："我宁愿达成协议。我不想杀死人，因为很多人会死亡，我们不想要那样的结果"[1]。
特朗普改变决定前曾于周五宣称"对谈判失去信心"，警告美军将给伊朗"很硬的打击"[3]。他所称的打击将是"二战以来最大的攻击"[2]。推动他暂停行动的是沙特阿拉伯、阿联酋和卡塔尔等美国盟国的劝阻[2][3]，这些国家的领导人警告军事升级可能对全球经济造成严重影响[3]。伊朗外长阿拉格奇证实伊朗与阿曼的谈判已进入最后阶段[1]。
过去五个月来，特朗普多次重演同样的模式[3]。他曾在4月7日、4月21日、5月18日、6月11日、6月17日、7月7日、7月27日和8月1日等多个日期宣布暂停打击[1]。伊朗媒体否认曾要求美国暂缓军事行动，称特朗普的说法是"新谎言"[2]。白宫新闻秘书卡琳·李维特发表声明称"伊朗将继续付出代价，直到以特朗普认为的有意义的方式坐到谈判桌前"[3]。布伦特原油下跌4.5%至83.98美元，美国原油下跌4.6%至80.74美元[2]。
President Trump has announced the suspension of planned military operations against Iran, instead choosing to pursue negotiations to resolve disputes over the Strait of Hormuz and nuclear issues.[1][2] The decision marks the latest reversal in a pattern of escalatory threats followed by de-escalation that has repeated multiple times over the past five months.[3]
According to Trump, new talks are set to begin on Monday afternoon.[1][2] He stated that Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar—key U.S. allies—urged him to pause military action, believing agreements could be reached on both the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's nuclear program.[2][3] Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's phone call to Trump, in which he conveyed concerns about the severe global economic consequences of military escalation, was identified as a pivotal factor in the president's decision.[3] Trump expressed his preference for negotiation, saying: "Would I rather make a deal? I'm not looking to kill people because people die, a lot of people die, and we don't want that."[1]
The planned strike would have been "the biggest attack since World War II," according to Trump's earlier characterization.[2] However, Iran's state media denied that the country had requested a U.S. pause in military operations, dismissing Trump's account as a "new lie."[2] Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi indicated that negotiations with Oman over strait-related issues have entered their final stages.[1]
This latest reversal follows a pattern of similar announcements over five months, with Trump suspending and then resuming threats on April 7, April 21, May 18, June 11, June 17, July 7, July 27, and August 1.[1] The market reacted to the diplomatic signal: Brent crude oil fell 4.5 percent to $83.98, while U.S. crude dropped 4.6 percent to $80.74.[2]
