The United States has announced a temporary halt to military strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure following a series of diplomatic discussions with Tehran, President Donald Trump confirmed on Monday. The suspension, set for five days, comes as the Iran conflict enters its fourth week.
President Trump shared the news via an official statement on Truth Social, emphasizing positive developments in talks: “I am pleased to report that the United States and Iran have had very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East.”
In the post, Trump detailed the decision to delay military operations. “Based on the tenor and tone of these in-depth, detailed, and constructive conversations—which will continue throughout the week—I have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five-day period,” he stated. The pause remains contingent on the success of ongoing discussions.
The move signals potential diplomatic progress in mitigating tensions between the two nations. Talks are expected to continue in the coming days as observers and stakeholders closely monitor developments.
