"I am pleased to report that the United States of America, and the country of Iran, have had, over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East."
"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 and discussions."
"Iran had said it would completely shut the strait in retaliation, pledging to attack energy facilities in Israel and Gulf countries."
"The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps responded that if Washington went ahead with its threat, Iran would target power plants in all regions that supply electricity to US bases."
President Trump announced a five-day postponement of military strikes against Iranian power plants after productive conversations with Tehran. He expressed satisfaction with the discussions aimed at resolving hostilities in the Middle East. Trump had previously warned Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours or face military action. Iran threatened to retaliate by targeting energy facilities in Israel and Gulf countries. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned of consequences if the US proceeded with its threats, including targeting US bases and laying sea mines in the Gulf.
