Donald Trump, the President of the United States, announced that after recent discussions with the Islamic Republic, planned attacks on the country's energy facilities have been temporarily halted.

He described the negotiations with the Islamic Republic as "positive," stating that Tehran is "serious" this time and there is a possibility of reaching an agreement, but emphasized that Washington will never allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons.

Trump also claimed that in recent weeks, the military capabilities of the Islamic Republic have been severely weakened, and a significant portion of its missile, drone, and military infrastructure has been destroyed. He simultaneously stressed that the leadership of the Islamic Republic is in crisis, and after a series of targeted attacks on officials, "no one is willing to take on this responsibility."

In conclusion, he said the Islamic Republic has "one more opportunity" to end its threats and added that the world will soon be safer.

On Monday, April 3rd, just hours after Donald Trump, the President of the United States, announced that he would instruct the military to postpone any attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure, stock indices in U.S. markets experienced unprecedented growth in the past four months.
According to Reuters, oil prices fell by more than 8% on Monday morning U.S. time, the value of the dollar dropped against other major currencies, and government borrowing costs significantly decreased. This improvement comes as markets still lack confidence in the likelihood of an imminent end to the war.
David Bianco, Chief Investment Officer for the U.S. at Dow Jones, told Reuters: "These (statements) buy time. We are in a very intense conflict... Perhaps they need more time to prepare for whatever they intend to do. I don't see this conflict returning to normal overnight."

Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, said in a video message:
"This morning I spoke with our friend, President Trump. President Trump believes there is an opportunity to leverage the great achievements of the Israeli and U.S. armies and to achieve the goals of the war through an agreement that preserves our vital interests.
At the same time, we continue our attacks both in Iran and in Lebanon. We are disrupting the missile and nuclear programs and continue to deal heavy blows to Hezbollah. Just a few days ago, we eliminated two more nuclear scientists, and this process will continue."

Donald Trump stated that the U.S. military has sunk Islamic Republic warships for fun.
Trump told a group of American soldiers: "We destroyed 158 of their ships. I asked my troops why they didn't capture them? Were they good ships or not? They said they were very good.
I said we could have used them.
They said sinking them to the bottom of the sea was more fun.
But they no longer exist, so we eliminated and destroyed their navy."
