Trump Postpones Strikes Against Iran Power For Five Days

President Donald Trump put his threat to destroy Iranian power plants on hold for five days after what he described as “productive” talks with that country, sending oil down sharply and stocks soaring.

“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,” he wrote on his social media platform.
