The US president changes his mind. Defers attacks on energy infrastructure
On Monday, Donald Trump surprised everyone when he announced in a post on the social media platform Truth Social, Fr delaying planned attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure by five days. He explained that the decision was the result of “productive talks” that were to take place last weekend. In response, Tehran not only did not confirm this information, but even denied it.
