US EditionTrump says he's postponing strikes on Iran power plants, citing 'productive' talks to end war
President Trump delays military strikes on Iran's energy sector for five days following productive talks aimed at resolving hostilities and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
- 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.
