WASHINGTON, D.C. โ€” President Donald J. Trump announced Monday morning that the United States and Iran have engaged in what he described as โ€œvery good and productive conversationsโ€ over the past two days, aimed at achieving what he called a โ€œcomplete and total resolutionโ€ of hostilities in the Middle East.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that discussions between the two countries had been constructive and would continue throughout the week.

โ€œI 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,โ€ Trump wrote. โ€œBased 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 military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five day period, subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions.โ€

Trump concluded the statement by thanking those involved for their attention to the matter and reaffirming his decision to delay military action while negotiations continue.

The announcement indicates a temporary pause in planned military operations targeting Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure, contingent on the progress of ongoing diplomatic discussions between the two nations.
