WASHINGTON DC, USA – Former United States President Donald Trump has announced the postponement of planned strikes on Iranian power plants, citing “very good” progress in peace talks aimed at de-escalating tensions between the two nations.
In a statement released on Monday, Trump confirmed that military action, which had been under consideration following recent hostilities in the Gulf region, would be delayed to allow diplomatic efforts to take full effect.
“We had a very good conversation. The strikes are on hold. Peace is always the better path,” Trump said.
The decision follows a series of back-channel negotiations mediated by regional allies, with both Washington and Tehran signaling a willingness to explore de-escalation options. The postponement has been welcomed by international leaders who have urged restraint amid rising tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.
While details of the talks remain undisclosed, sources indicate that discussions have focused on nuclear program transparency and the security of international shipping lanes. Iran has yet to issue an official response to Trump’s announcement.
The development marks a significant shift after weeks of escalating rhetoric, with global energy markets responding positively to the prospect of reduced geopolitical risk in the oil-rich Gulf region.
