Live updates: Trump pauses Iran power plant attacks after ‘productive’ talks

President Trump announced Monday that the U.S. would pause attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure for five days while "constructive conversations" continue toward resolving Middle East hostilities. The halt represents a tactical shift in the administration's approach to Iran amid ongoing diplomatic efforts. Stock market futures jumped on the announcement, signaling investor optimism about potential de-escalation. The pause comes as the Trump administration navigates multiple Middle East tensions simultaneously, including matters under review by the Department of Homeland Security on Capitol Hill. The five-day window suggests negotiations are active, though no agreement on a broader settlement has been reached.
