00:00Donald Trump has said on Iran, I have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military strikes
00:08against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five-day period.
00:13Is this a ceasefire? Is this a pause? Is this truce? What's happening? This is a big statement coming in.
00:19You're watching it live on India Today as Donald Trump has said that subject to the success of ongoing meetings
00:26and discussions,
00:27the United States of America and Iran have had over the last two days.
00:32Very good, productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East.
00:39Are we looking at, after 24 days, possibly seemingly some peace returning to the region for now five days?
00:48The United States of America's President Donald Trump has said,
00:51I have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy
00:58infrastructure for a five-day period.
01:00So starting today, Monday, the next five days, this week, could actually see the situation coming to a slightly peaceful
01:08pause, if not a halt.
01:10But also remember, here's a condition that Donald Trump has added, and the condition is subject to the success of
01:17ongoing meetings and discussions.
01:18Donald Trump has added that U.S. and Iran have had over the last two days very good and productive
01:23conversations,
01:24complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East.
01:27But it remains to be seen, one, what does Israel have to say about this and Iran as much?
01:34Remember, Iran has said, if there is another strike by the U.S.A., the fighting will continue.
01:40If there are disruptions by the U.S.A., the fight will continue.
01:43So how will possibly the new Khamenei regime going to respond to what America's statement is?
01:48But these five days, does it mean a complete halt?
01:51You will not see such a blaze, not just in Iran, Israel, or in the Middle East region?
01:57Or could there be trouble still brewing?
01:59So we'll try and get you more clarity on what has been said.
02:01But nevertheless, a big statement coming in after 24 days from the U.S. president,
02:06that at least for the next five days, any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure
02:13will be on a halt.
02:16It's very interesting, if you read the words carefully,
02:19that the U.S.A. president hasn't said that there's going to be a complete stop to the strikes anywhere,
02:25but specifically for sure against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure,
02:29because that has been, of course, the target for U.S.A. and Israel against Iran.
02:35But the Khamenei regime, of course, the new leader of Iran,
02:39also maintaining that if U.S.A. strikes, we will also retaliate and the fight will continue.
02:45And also engulfed in this war, remember, is not just Israel, Iran, Lebanon, and other nearby countries,
02:53including the UAE, but it's also as much the rest of the world,
02:56especially the impact that we have seen on gas, fuel, and other essential commodities.
03:02So now a big statement coming in from the U.S.A. president.
03:05I just want to quickly read it again.
03:08U.S.A. and Iran have had over the last two days
03:10very good and productive conversations
03:12regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East.
03:16For now, I have instructed the Department of War
03:18to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure.
03:24Five-day period, ladies and gentlemen.
03:26We can see the situation at least being on a standstill,
03:29which also means a status quo.
03:31It does not mean that the war is over,
03:33but five days could be crucial,
03:34also depending on subject to the success of ongoing meetings and discussions.
03:41Now, of course, who leads these meetings?
03:43What are the results of these discussions?
03:46That, of course, will be important.
