Donald Trump has instructed the United States Department of Defense to postpone any planned military strikes targeting Iran’s power plants and energy infrastructure for five days.
The announcement was made on his Truth Social platform on Monday, just hours before a previously anticipated deadline.
Trump cited progress in ongoing meetings and discussions as the reason for the delay, signaling a possible diplomatic window.
The move follows rising tensions after Iran reportedly threatened to target power facilities in Israel and those supplying U.S. bases in the Gulf region if its own energy infrastructure was attacked.
The situation remains fluid as global attention turns to whether diplomacy will prevail over further escalation.
