The United States will not carry out strikes on Iran for five days. This was written by U.S. President Donald Trump on the social network Truth Social, LIGA reports.
Trump explained this step by saying that over two days, the United States and Iran held “very good and productive” negotiations on resolving the conflict in the Middle East.
According to Trump, based on the tone and content of these “deep, detailed, and constructive” discussions, he ordered the Department of Defense to postpone any strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for five days.
This temporary decision depends on the success of further meetings and discussions.
The U.S. President emphasized that negotiations will continue for a week and thanked everyone for their attention to this issue.
As the outlet notes, after this statement by Trump, the price of Brent crude oil sharply dropped to $97 per barrel and then recovered to $101. This is evidenced by data from the ICE exchange.
