Trump adjourns five days of attacks on power plants after "very good talks" with Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he has ordered "a five-day postponement of any military attack" on Iranian power plants, after giving Tehran a 48-hour ultimatum on Saturday.

"I'm glad to inform you that the U.S. and Iran have had very good and constructive talksin the last two days , "Trump said in a social media message.

"Based on the tone and honesty of these in-depth, detailed and constructive talks that will continue throughout the week, I have instructed the War Department – referring to the Department of Defense – to postpone all military attacks on Iranian power stations and energy infrastructure for five days, depending on the success of the ongoing meetings and talks," he explained.

Trump himself gave Iran a 48-hour ultimatum on Saturday to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, saying otherwise it will attack the country's power stations and there will be "total destruction." "Iran's destruction will be complete," he said.

In response, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard has warned that it is "readyto respond to any threat , "and has stressed that if Trump fulfils his threat, Tehran will attack" the occupying regime's power stations (Israel) and those of the countries in the region that supply electricity to US bases, "as well as" the economic, industrial, and energy infrastructures that have US shareholders.
