Former US President Donald Trump has called off a planned military strike on Iran, saying negotiations have been taken to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump claimed the decision to cancel the strike followed progress in talks.
The development comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East and concerns over Iran’s nuclear programme.
Trump’s statement did not provide details of the negotiations or what concessions Iran may have made.
The announcement has global implications, especially for oil markets and security in the region. Nigeria, as a major oil producer, will be watching closely.
