Here are Sunday’s latest updates from the U. S. Iran war and Israel:■ U. S. President Donald Trump said he canceled a planned strike on Iran after Tehran and other Middle Eastern countries requested time to pursue a deal that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end Iran’s nuclear threat. ■ U. S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Iran is now more willing to reach a deal because the U. S. is negotiating from a “position of strength,” adding that recent American strikes severely damaged Iran’s air defenses. ■ Axios reported that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman expressed concern to Trump over planned new U. S. strikes on Iran during a phone call on Saturday. ■ Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned the U. S. against any “adventurous action” and said any “aggression” by the U. S. or Israel, or involvement by regional countries, would draw a “decisive response. ”■ At least nine Palestinians, including two children, were killed overnight into Sunday in five Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip within about an hour, according to Palestinian medical sources and media reports. ■ Former Fatah official Mohammed Dahlan said Jared Kushner is working with Israel to halt strikes in Gaza after Hamas and other Palestinian factions approved a 15-point roadmap.
