Trump Hits Pause: War To End Soon?

US President Donald Trump has indicated that Washington and Tehran have begun what he described as "very good and productive conversations" aimed at a full resolution of the escalating conflict in the Middle East. Trump said he had ordered the postponement of any planned strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for five days to allow the talks to continue. 

The move marks the first public hint of possible de-escalation since the war entered its fourth week. Responding to Trump's latest post, Iranian state media said that the US President "backed down" fearing potential Iran reprisal.
