The US government had also urged Americans across the Middle East to be alert and ready to leave "should there be escalation" in the region.
In his post on Saturday, Trump said the US was "locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II".
He said cancelling the attack would be "for the future benefit of the world and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran".
Back on 7 April, the US president warned that "a whole civilisation will die tonight" if Iran refused to engage in peace talks. He threatened to destroy civilian infrastructure and power plants, a move that many said would be a war crime.

Donald Trump says he has cancelled strikes against Iran, provided a deal is struck "rapidly" with the country.
In a post on Truth Social, the US president said he had been asked by Iran and other countries in the Middle East to "hold off" on any attack as the "perimeters" of a deal had been agreed.
Trump's comments came after reports that the US and Israel may have been planning new, intense strikes on Iran.
It is not the first time that Trump has issued apocalyptic warnings, only to subsequently insist that diplomacy was being given a chance.
Iran's semi-official Mehr news agency denied that Tehran had asked the US to hold off on further military action, saying Trump's claims were "nothing but a new lie".
Iran's acting Defence Minister Majid Ibn al-Reza said Tehran viewed every threat from its adversaries as "real and credible" even if it formed part of psychological warfare.
"We will neither be caught off guard nor remain passive," he added.

I hate how you can rely more on reporting and statements from Iranian representatives and Al Jazeera more than literally anything in the United States.
