U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Thursday evening that he will extend the deadline for launching attacks on Iranian energy stations for 10 days until April 6th, based on a request from the Iranian government.
Trump said in a post on the "Truth Social" platform that "based on a request from the Iranian government, I extend the deadline for destroying the energy station for 10 days, until Monday, April 6, 2026, at 8 p.m. Eastern Time." He also added that "talks are ongoing, and despite the false statements published by the fake media and others, they are going very well." Earlier on Thursday, Trump had urged Iran to reach an agreement to end American and Israeli bombing, or it would face more strikes on its territory. He said during a government meeting at the White House: "They now have an opportunity, Iran, to completely abandon their nuclear ambitions and enter a new path… We will see if they want that. If they don't, we are their worst nightmares. At the same time, we will continue to bomb them." Trump also added that the Iranians are negotiating with the United States and described them as eager to reach an agreement, which Tehran denied. He also described Iranian officials as "skilled negotiators" and announced that he is seeking an agreement that opens the Strait of Hormuz and stops Tehran's military ambitions, according to Reuters. However, he hinted that the agreement may not be successful in the end. Speaking about the possibilities of reaching an agreement, he added: "I don't know if we will be able to do that. I don't know if we are ready to do that." This came after a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Thursday that Washington's proposal to end about 4 weeks of fighting was "unilateral and unfair," but diplomatic efforts continue.
