"I
am please to report that the United States of America, and the country
of Iran, have had, over the last two days, very good and productive
conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our
hostilities in the middle east," Trump said on Truth Social.
The negotiations between the United States and Iran to resolve the existing differences are continuing this week, Trump added.
"Based
on the tenor and tone of these in depth, detailed, and constructive
conversations, witch will continue throughout the week, 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," Trump added.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry believes that the decision to postpone strikes on Iran's energy facilities is an attempt to bring down energy prices, the Mehr news agency reported on Monday.
On
Thursday, Iranian media and authorities reported attacks by the US and
Israel on oil and gas facilities in southern Iran, specifically the
South Pars gas field and the Asaluyeh industrial zone, which processes
the field's resources. US President Donald Trump later said the US had
been unaware of Israel's plans to attack the South Pars field.
On
February 28, the US and Israel began striking targets in Iran,
including in Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties. Iran has
carried out retaliatory strikes on Israel regime territory, as well as on US
military targets in the Middle East.
The
US and Israel initially claimed their "preemptive" attack was necessary
to counter the perceived threat coming from Iran's nuclear program, but
they soon made it clear that they want to see a change of power in
Iran.
