President Trump has extended the suspension of planned strikes on Iranian energy sites until April 6, citing a request from Tehran and claiming that diplomatic talks are progressing well despite continued regional tensions.
President Donald Trump announced a 10-day extension of the current pause on military strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure, pushing the deadline for potential “Energy Plant destruction” to Monday, April 6, 2026. In a Truth Social post released shortly after markets closed on Thursday, the president stated that the decision was made “as per Iranian Government request” while claiming that ongoing diplomatic negotiations are proceeding successfully.
Despite the temporary reprieve, the administration continues to demand the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, with Trump noting, “Talks are ongoing and, despite erroneous statements to the contrary by the Fake News Media, and others, they are going very well.”
