President Trump announced a pause in potential strikes against Iranian power plants and infrastructure for five days, citing productive conversations with Iran regarding resolving hostilities in the Middle East. This decision follows a 48-hour deadline given to Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The announcement came amidst reports of Iranian fire being intercepted by the United Arab Emirates.
President Donald Trump flagged a pause in strikes targeting Iran and its power generation capabilities on Monday morning, taking to social media to declare his hopes for a peaceful resolution to hostilities sooner rather than later.
Trump says the U.S. and Iran have held talks on the “complete and total resolution of hostilities” in the Middle East driven by Operation Epic Fury. The president says that, as a result of the diplomatic exchanges, he has postponed threatened future strikes on Iranian power plants and infrastructure. Trump says he will “postpone any and all strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure” for a five day period.“I AM PLEASE TO REPORT THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THE COUNTRY OF IRAN, HAVE HAD, OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS, VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST. “BASED ON THE TENOR AND TONE OF THESE IN DEPTH, DETAILED, AND CONSTRUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS, WITCH WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, I HAVE INSTRUCTED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO POSTPONE ANY AND ALL MILITARY STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN POWER PLANTS AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FIVE DAY PERIOD, SUBJECT TO THE SUCCESS OF THE ONGOING MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP” On Saturday night, Trump gave Iran a 48-hour deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz – or, he said, the U.S. would “obliterate” Iranian power plants, “starting with the biggest one first.”Trump’s announcement came as the United Arab Emirates reported its air defenses were attempting to intercept new incoming Iranian fire Monday afternoon. Prior to Trump’s announcement, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi acknowledged talking by phone with his Turkish counterpart, Hakan Fidan. Turkey has been an intermediary before in negotiations between Tehran and Washington.Over 20 Nations Announce Readiness to Help Open Strait of HormuzCalifornia Sheriff Seizes 650K Ballots to Determine 2025 Election IntegrityTrump Says No Deal Should Be Made on DHS Funding Until SAVE Act Passed French Elections: Le Pen’s National Rally Claims Historic ‘Breakthrough’, Establishment Erodes, and Far-Left Alliances Flop‘CODE RED’ Author on ‘War Room’: Fear of AI Job Losses Being Used to Push Wealth Redistribution ‘The Singularity’: ‘Code Red’ Author Wynton Hall Warns Humans Will Have to Make ‘Moral Choice’ Whether to Fuse with RobotsFans, Media Write Emotional Tributes After NHL Reporter Jessi Pierce and Her Three Children Die in House FireWATCH: Pilot’s Flight Path Salutes Ohio Air National Guardsmen Killed amid Operation Epic Fury
