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 power plants for five days to allow ongoing talks aimed at resolving hostilities and stabilizing energy markets amid rising regional tensions.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump said he postponed strikes on Iranian power plants for five days after 'very good and productive conversations' with Tehran.
- Last Saturday, Trump posted an ultimatum demanding Iran fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, with the Monday deadline intensifying pressure before the strike pause.
- Oil markets reacted sharply, with Brent crude plunging more than 14% to $96.00 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate falling to $84.37 as global markets rallied.

- The International Energy Agency warned of severe energy shocks if fighting drags on, noting global oil prices have climbed about 55% since the war's start.
