U.S. President Donald Trump has abruptly called off a planned strike on Iran, stating that a "great deal" has been reached and only the final documentation remains. He also suggested that a signing ceremony could take place in Europe as early as this weekend, with reports indicating a high possibility that Iran will accept the terms.

Here is the report from Washington correspondent Kim Yong-tae.

President Trump, who had been signaling potential airstrikes against Iran for three days following the downing of a U.S. military helicopter, has suddenly canceled the operation.

He stated that discussions with Iran had reached the country's top leadership and received approval, and that the matter had also been coordinated with Middle Eastern nations, including Israel and Saudi Arabia.

He explained that the peace negotiations are now in the final stages of documentation.

[Donald Trump/U.S. President: We have reached a great deal regarding the war with Iran, and we are just waiting for the final documentation. It will be finished within a few days.]

He added that the signing ceremony could be held in Europe as early as this weekend.

[Donald Trump/U.S. President: Once the agreement is signed, the Strait of Hormuz will be officially opened. The signing will take place soon, perhaps in Europe this weekend. I will not be able to attend, but Vice President JD Vance and others will be there.]

Trump also claimed it was a major achievement, stating that Iran has agreed not to possess nuclear weapons.

Iran's Fars News Agency reported that no agreement has been officially approved yet.

However, it projected that since the U.S. ultimately accepted the original proposal offered by Iran, there is a high possibility that Iran will provide final approval.

Attention is now focused on whether the progress in peace negotiations, reported on the opening day of the World Cup, will lead to the final signing ceremony as President Trump has predicted.
