Reuters reports the United States will continue strikes on Iran, with the pause applying only to attacks on Tehran's energy sites, Semafor said on Monday, citing a U.S. official, even as President Donald Trump described talks with unidentified Iranian officials as "productive."
Earlier on Monday, Trump had postponed for five days a planned strike on Iran's energy grid. Iran later denied it had engaged in negotiations with the United States.
"The stop on attacks for five days is only on their energy sites," a U.S. official told Semafor.
"It is not on the military sites and the navy, and the ballistic missiles, and the defense industrial base. The initial initiatives of (Operation) Epic Fury will continue," the official told the news agency.
Reuters could not immediately verify Semafor’s report. The White House, the U.S. State Department, and the Pentagon did not immediately respond to requests for comment outside regular hours.
Semafor also reported that Israel was not a party to Washington’s talks with Tehran.
