US pauses strikes on Iranian energy plants as two facilities reportedly hit by missiles
Donald Trump has announced a five-day pause in U.S.-led missile attacks targeting Iran's nuclear program, coinciding with reports that at least one or more of the targeted dual-use infrastructure sites have been struck. While Washington halts further strikes for now, Japanese authorities are preparing to unlock strategic petroleum stockpiles amid escalating regional tensions involving Israel and Hezbollah raids on Beirut. Trump has previously warned in January 2018 about a "regime change" operation against Iran's leadership as the conflict continues across multiple fronts this week.
