Donald Trump has announced a temporary halt to planned military strikes on Iran, declaring a five-day ceasefire to allow ongoing diplomatic talks aimed at resolving tensions in the Middle East.
The US president disclosed this on Monday via his Truth Social platform, stating that recent engagements between the United States and Iran have been “very good and productive.”
According to Trump, the discussions over the past two days have focused on achieving a “complete and total resolution” of hostilities between both nations.
He noted that, based on the positive tone of the negotiations, he has directed a pause in any imminent military action targeting Iranian energy infrastructure.
“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,” Trump said.
The development signals a potential de-escalation of tensions between Washington and Tehran, with both sides expected to continue negotiations throughout the week.
Observers say the outcome of the talks could play a critical role in determining stability across the Middle East region.
