Trump Postpones Iran Power Plant Strikes after ‘Very Good’ Peace Talks

US President Donald Trump announced a five-day delay of all planned strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure following “very good and productive conversations” aimed at resolving hostilities in the Middle East over the past two days.

The announcement comes as a deadline set by the US for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz expires.

Iran’s National Defence Council warned that any attempt to attack the Iranian coast or islands would trigger the mining of all communication lines in the Persian Gulf. The delay signals a temporary de-escalation in tensions, though both sides remain on alert amid ongoing disputes over navigation and energy security in the region. (AFP)
