Slight respite in war; Trump halts strike on Iranian energy for 10 days

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has ordered a 10-day halt on Iran energy stations. Trump claimed that the decision was as per the request of the Iranian government and that there was progress in talks. Trump made the new announcement through the Truth social platform. The United States had previously warned that the attacks would continue if a peace deal was not accepted. Political observers believe that the 10-day break provided by the new announcement will strengthen peace efforts in the Middle East.
