Trump Delays Planned Strikes on Iran Amid Last‑Minute Diplomatic Overtures

        President Donald Trump speaks to reporters on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington. 

President Donald Trump has postponed planned U.S. military strikes against Iranian power facilities just hours before a deadline tied to reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The decision follows what the president described as “good and productive conversations” with Tehran, signaling a temporary easing of tensions after days of escalating threats.

Trump had previously issued a 48‑hour ultimatum demanding Iran fully reopen the vital waterway or face the “obliteration” of its power infrastructure. Iran responded defiantly, warning it would retaliate by targeting regional energy sites and potentially mining the Persian Gulf. 

The postponement—set for five days—comes as global energy markets watch closely and regional militaries brace for potential escalation. While the delay offers a brief diplomatic window, both sides remain entrenched, leaving the situation volatile and uncertain.
