Trump delays strikes on Iranian energy sites amid negotiations
The United States has postponed planned military strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure for a further ten days while negotiations continue. The delay comes as the ongoing Middle East conflict severely disrupts global energy markets, prompting the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and causing widespread economic instability. Meanwhile, regional violence continues to escalate, with Israel reportedly killing a senior Iranian naval commander and Tehran warning that commercial hotels housing American military personnel could become legitimate targets.
