President Trump called off planned military strikes on Iran after requests from Gulf allies, keeping forces on standby while deciding by Sunday whether to pursue a deal or military action. The standoff follows the collapse of previous nuclear agreements and heightened tensions after Iran rejected a US peace proposal. The US Senate voted narrowly to limit Trump's war powers, adding procedural hurdles. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies dropped sharply amid the uncertainty, reflecting market fears of potential conflict and its impact on global oil supply and financial markets.
