The United States will continue its strikes on Iran, with the pause applying only to attacks on Tehran’s energy sites, Semafor reported on Monday, citing a US official, during ‌what President ‌Donald Trump has ​described ‌as “productive” ⁠talks ​with unidentified ⁠Iranian officials.

Earlier on Monday, Trump had postponed for five days a plan to hit Iran’s power plants and energy infrastructure. Iran later denied that it had ⁠engaged in negotiations with ‌the United States.

“The ‌stop on attacks for ​five days is ‌only on their energy sites,” a ‌US 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,” he told the news agency.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report. The White House, the US State Department and the Pentagon and the did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside regular hours.

The Semafor report also added that Israel ​was not ​party to Washington’s talks with Tehran.
