Key Findings

U.S. President Donald Trump postponed threatened strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure and power plants for five days, pending the outcome of talks with Iran. Leading economic indicators such as oil prices and global stock markets very likely fluctuated based on Trump’s statement, which has been widely interpreted as an acknowledgement that he is looking to end the war. The Iranian Foreign Ministry refuted Trump’s claims about talks but acknowledged limited talks with third-party mediators.
In the short term, the five-day extension likely signals that the conflict will not escalate further this week. However, fighting will likely continue, with Iran targeting Israel and Gulf countries; the latter are reportedly considering joining the war effort against Iran.
There is a roughly even chance that the five-day delay is a tactic being used before Operation Epic Fury escalates to forcibly reopening the Strait of Hormuz (SoH) in April. However, the U.S. desire for a swift end to the conflict likely remains—regardless of the outcome of the latest talks.
