U.S. President Donald Trump says he has directed the Department of Defense to postpone military strikes against Iranian power plants for five days, contingent on the outcome of ongoing meetings and discussions with Iran.
In a post on his Truth Social account, Mr. Trump said the United States and Iran have held “very good and productive conversations” over the past two days regarding a “complete and total resolution” of their hostilities in the Middle East.
He added that, based on the “tenor and tone” of these in-depth, detailed, and constructive discussions—which are expected to continue throughout the week—he has instructed the Department of Defense to delay any and all military strikes targeting Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five-day period, subject to the success of the ongoing talks.
However, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has denied Mr. Trump’s claims, stating that Tehran has not engaged in discussions with the United States as suggested.
