US-Iran latest: Trump gives Iran another 10 days to negotiate before bombing energy plants

1 Min Read

U.S. President Donald Trump has postponed planned military strikes on Iranian power plants for 10 days, signaling a potential diplomatic opening in the escalating conflict between Washington and Tehran. The decision delays the attacks until April 6 and follows a request from Iran as negotiations continue behind the scenes. Trump said the discussions are “going very well,” suggesting progress toward a possible agreement to ease tensions.

The proposed strikes were part of U.S. pressure on Iran amid a nearly month-long regional conflict that has involved U.S. and Israeli military actions against Iranian targets.

While the temporary pause raises hopes for diplomacy, Iran has reportedly criticized the U.S. peace proposal as unfair, highlighting continued disagreements between the two sides over terms for ending the crisis.
