Trump Delays Strikes on Iran’s Power Grid as Mediators Push for Peace

He says recent talks between Washington and Tehran have been “very good and productive.” Turkey, Egypt and Pakistan reportedly met separately with White House envoy Steve Witkoff and Iran’s foreign minister to discuss ending hostilities.

Markets reacted swiftly, with crude oil prices falling and U.S. stock futures rebounding.
