President Donald Trump has announced that the United States will postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five-day period.
The decision comes a day after Iran warned it would completely close the Strait of Hormuz if Trump carried out his threat to bomb Tehran’s power plants.
Trump said the postponement follows “productive conversations,” though he did not specify whether the discussions were directly with Iranian officials or through intermediaries.
The five-day pause marks a temporary de-escalation in tensions between Washington and Tehran, which had escalated in recent days over threats to Iran’s energy sector.
