US pause applies only to energy sites: Semafor

The United ⁠States will continue its strikes on Iran, ​with the ​pause applying only to attacks on Tehran's energy sites, Semafor reported on Monday, citing a U.S. official, during what President Donald Trump has ⁠described as 'productive' talks with unidentified ⁠Iranian officials.
Earlier on Monday, Trump had postponed for five days a plan to hit Iran's ‌energy grid. Iran ​later denied that ⁠it had engaged in negotiations ​with the United States.
'The ‌stop on attacks for five days is ​only on their energy sites,' a U.S. official told Semafor.
'It is not on the military sites and the navy, and the ballistic ‌missiles, and the defense industrial ​base. The initial initiatives of (Operation) Epic Fury will ​continue,' ‌he ⁠told the news agency.
Reuters could not immediately verify the report. The White House, ​the U.S. State Department ⁠, and the ​Pentagon and the did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside regular hours.
The Semafor report also added ​that Israel was not a party ​to Washington's talks with Tehran.
