According to him, the decision has been taken to suspend any proposed strikes targeting Iran’s energy and power infrastructure for an initial period of five days. He explained that the move is intended to allow room for continued negotiations aimed at achieving a lasting settlement.
The development follows days of heightened tension, during which the United States had signaled possible military action. However, the latest announcement suggests a shift toward diplomacy, as both sides explore avenues for de-escalation.
Officials indicated that talks are expected to continue throughout the week, with the outcome likely to determine whether the pause in military operations will be extended.
Observers say the situation remains fluid, with global attention focused on the ongoing discussions and their potential impact on stability in the Middle East.
