President Donald Trump announced on Monday that the U.S. has engaged in constructive discussions with Iran, prompting a decision to delay planned military strikes on Iran's power plants and energy infrastructure.

This decision comes after Iran issued a threat to target Israel's power infrastructure and U.S. bases if Iranian facilities came under attack. The conversations with Iran are set to continue throughout the week, as stated by President Trump in a social media announcement.

In his post, Trump instructed the Department of War to hold off on any military actions for a five-day period, with a condition reliant on the success of the ongoing negotiations.
