Trump halts Iran strikes, claims peace deal close

Trump has called off further US military strikes on Iran and announced a 'great settlement' is being finalized, sending global stock markets surging. Iran's foreign ministry has pushed back, calling reports of a done deal 'speculative' — meaning the gap between Trump's victory lap and Tehran's position is still very much open. Satellite imagery already shows more than 50 Iranian military bases damaged from strikes conducted since the war began.
