US President Donald Trump has made a statement regarding his decision to postpone military strikes on Iran’s power plants. According to reports, Trump stated that Iran had contacted him to discuss a potential deal.
Trump announced the postponement of strikes earlier today, citing concerns over the potential consequences for civilians and the global economy. The US President later spoke with reporters, stating that he had received a call from Iranian officials in an effort to negotiate a mutually beneficial agreement.
However, Iranian officials have disputed Trump’s account, claiming that his comments about receiving a call from Iran are “fake news”. They have accused him of manipulating the markets and attempting to create a false narrative.
The details surrounding the phone call between Trump and Iranian officials remain unclear. The US President has not provided further information on the nature of the conversation or what was discussed during the call.
It is worth noting that the postponement of military strikes on Iran’s power plants has been met with significant international attention. The move has sparked debate and speculation about the motivations behind the decision.
The Iranian government has issued a statement denying Trump’s claims, stating that no such phone call took place. The US President’s office has not commented further on the matter.
