US President Donald Trump
US President Donald Trump said on Thursday he would delay his plan to attack Iran’s energy infrastructure by an additional 10 days, following a request from Tehran. 
“As per Iranian Government request, please let this statement serve to represent that I am pausing the period of Energy Plant destruction by 10 days to Monday, April 6, 2026, at 8 PM, Eastern Time,” Trump said on social media platform Truth Social.
“Talks are ongoing and, despite erroneous statements to the contrary by the Fake News Media, and others, they are going very well,” Trump wrote.
Trump had initially announced the plan on Sunday, giving Iran two days to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face action. By Monday evening, he extended the deadline by five days, citing “constructive talks” between the two sides.
