Trump announces ‘very good and productive’ talks with Iran and halts planned strikes

US President Donald Trump has said the United States and Iran have held “very good and productive” discussions over the past two days aimed at securing a permanent end to hostilities in the Middle East.

In a post on his Truth Social platform on Monday, Mr Trump wrote: “I am pleased 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.”

He added that, based on the “tenor and tone” of the talks – which he described as “in depth, detailed, and constructive” – he had ordered the Department of Defense to postpone planned military strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure.
