Trump delays planned US strikes on Iranian energy sites

Donald Trump ordered a postponement of US military strikes targeting Iranian energy infrastructure. He stated the delay was due to 'productive conversations' and claimed an agreement on 15 points had been reached, though Iran denied any talks took place.

The strikes were reportedly halted for five days. The decision came after an ultimatum related to the Strait of Hormuz, and it affected financial markets, with gold prices trimming their losses following the announcement.
