U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States and Iran had held what he described as “very good and highly productive” talks over the past two days, aimed at reaching a full and comprehensive resolution to hostilities in the Middle East. Trump stated, "Based on the course of the discussions, I have directed the Department of Defense to postpone all military strikes on energy facilities and infrastructure in Iran for five days.”
The U.S. president explained that this postponement is conditional on the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions between the two sides, noting that the ultimate goal is to end the persistent conflict and establish the foundations of a comprehensive solution to shared crises.
