The global community should try and turn the US's pause in the war into lasting peace
-
US President Donald Trump has announced a postponement of attacks on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for five days, “subject to the success of ongoing meetings and discussions”.
The announcement follows his earlier 48-hour ultimatum to Iran to either open the Strait of Hormuz or face further strikes. Iran had said that any such action would be reciprocated with similar attacks on other West Asian countries and Israel. Iran, after Trump's announcement, has denied any direct talks with the US. To be sure, it has been recognised that regional efforts to restore peace and open the Strait of Hormuz should continue.
