Iran war live: Trump postpones strikes on Iranian power plants after earlier ultimatum over Strait of Hormuz - Reuters

President Trump has postponed planned military strikes on Iranian power plants after issuing an earlier ultimatum regarding the Strait of Hormuz. The decision represents a tactical shift in the Trump administration's approach to escalating tensions with Iran, which have centered on threats to global shipping through one of the world's most critical oil transit routes. The postponement suggests the administration may be pursuing diplomatic or negotiated resolution before executing military action. The Strait of Hormuz carries roughly one-third of globally traded oil, making any military confrontation there a potential economic flashpoint. The move leaves open the possibility of future strikes if Iran does not comply with Trump's stated demands.
