President Donald Trump stated on Monday, March 23, 2026, that he has ordered the United States military to postpone strikes against Iranian targets for five days. He cited "good and productive conversations" with Tehran as the reason for the delay.
The announcement, made via the former president's social media platform, specified that the planned strikes were aimed at Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure. No further details on the nature or participants of the conversations were provided in the statement.
This development follows a period of heightened tension between the U.S. and Iran. The White House has not issued an official statement corroborating the former president's announcement as of this reporting.
International observers are monitoring the situation closely, noting that such a postponement could provide a critical window for diplomatic engagement. The specific conditions or potential outcomes of the ongoing discussions remain unclear.
