Washington, March 23 (QNA) - US President Donald Trump said on ⁠Monday that he has ordered the United States ⁠military to postpone ⁠strikes ⁠against Iranian power plants ‌and energy infrastructure for five days after holding ‌"good and productive conversations" with Tehran.

"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," Trump posted on his Truth Social platform.

"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."

Trump on Saturday gave Tehran 48 hours to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to all vessels, warning that otherwise the US would "obliterate" Iran's power plants. (QNA)
