Trump says he's postponing strikes on Iran power plants, citing 'productive' talks to end war
- On Monday, President Donald Trump extended his ultimatum for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by five days, ordering a pause on planned U.S. strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure.
- Trump previously threatened to "obliterate" Iran's energy grid on Saturday if the Strait of Hormuz was not fully reopened, setting a 48-hour deadline that would have expired late Monday.
- While Trump cited "very good and productive conversations" with Tehran, officials there denied any direct or indirect negotiations, dismissing the claims as "fake news" intended to manipulate oil markets.
- Brent crude prices fell and global stock futures rallied Monday after the announcement, offering immediate market relief though energy importers remain wary of sustained supply volatility.
- Iranian forces reportedly deployed limpet mines throughout the Strait of Hormuz, keeping regional military posture at high alert despite the diplomatic opening and threatening delayed maritime security restoration.
