Tehran has denied any communication with the US, threatening to target regional energy infrastructure if the attacks resume
US President Donald Trump has ordered a five‑day delay in planned strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure, claiming “very good and productive” talks with Tehran are under way and will continue through the week. The move follows his threat to “obliterate” Iran’s power network if it does not reopen the critical Strait of Hormuz to international shipping.
Iranian officials, however, insist there is “no dialogue between Tehran and Washington,” describing Trump’s statements as an attempt to cool energy markets and buy time for his military plans. Tehran has warned it will target regional energy infrastructure if US attacks resume. Here is what we know so far.
What exactly has Trump ordered?
Trump said he had instructed the Department of War to “postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five‑day period.” The pause is “subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions” he claims are taking place.
