US-Iran Tensions: Peace Talks & Power Struggle

0:00On March 24, tensions between the United States and Iran are heating up after President Trump announced very good peace talks were underway. He claimed productive conversations happened and ordered the Defense Department to hold off on all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy sites for a five-day period.

He mentioned sharing oversight with the Ayatollah, whoever that might be now, and hinted at automatic regime change no matter what. Iranian officials quickly denied any talks or direct contact with the U.S. at all. They dismissed Trump's claims and suggested he back down after threats to hit power stations across the region.
