Trump's about-turn halts strikes on Iran

March 24, 2026

US PRESIDENT Donald Trump's abrupt shift on Iran came hours before the expiration of a two-day ultimatum under which he threatened to attack Iranian power plants if Tehran did not reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

- AFP and STAFF WRITER

“Things are going very well,” Trump said when asked about Iran, following his earlier Truth Social post on the negotiations that sent oil prices tumbling.

In his post, Trump made the surprise announcement, backed by little detail, that diplomacy was underway. This came after he earlier shunned talks with Tehran in the fourth week of the joint US-Israeli military campaign.

Trump said yesterday that Washington and Tehran had held “very good” and “productive” talks towards ending the three-week conflict, announcing a five-day pause on planned military strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure.
