Report: US to continue strikes on Iran, five day pause limited to energy sites

The United States plans to continue strikes on Iran, with any pause limited to specific targets, according to a report by US news website Semafor.

The report, which cited a US official, said military operations are expected to proceed alongside diplomatic efforts.

“The stop on attacks for five days is only on their energy sites. It is not on the military sites and the navy, and the ballistic missiles, and the defence industrial base. The initial initiatives of [Operation] Epic Fury will continue,” the official was quoted as saying.
