March 23 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Monday the U.S. has had good ‌and productive conversations with Iran and he will order the military to postpone any military strikes against Iranian power plants ⁠and energy infrastructure for five days.

Trump's move followed a threat by Iran to attack Israel's power plants and those supplying U.S. bases across the Gulf region if the U.S. targets Iran's power network.

Conversations ‌with ⁠Iran will continue throughout the week, Trump said in a social media post. "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," he wrote.

Oil is down big way. In the meantime pacha government made extra billions by selling old oil stocks at elevated prices.

Trump should be ashamed of boasting. Iran is standing on its feet Iran has been derived from old Persia where the great king Alexcender was born. Iranian people are born adventurous. They are warriors. They know how to manoeuvre the war. Therefore nobody can supersede Iran easily

A man whose word and promises are worthless. Anyone who relies on Trump is left high and dry.

Sorry Dr. You are wrong. Alexander was a Greek and he was not born in Iran. He invaded it and left.

The situation highlights perceived limitations in U.S. strategic dominance, as China has closely studied American military tactics and advanced its own countermeasures. This growing preparedness suggests that, in the event of conflict, the outcome could be highly uncertain and potentially unfavorable for the United States.

Knowing USA President, this postpone of attack is not surprise. The world citizens are suffering for no fault of theirs. Hence USA's decision not to strike Iran is a good move and hoping this unfortunate war will come to an end immediately.
