President Donald Trump issued another delay for his strikes against Iranian power plants, citing progress in peace talks.
Trump called off his promised strikes first on Monday, saying progress was being made toward a deal to end the war. Iran quickly denied that any such talks were taking place, but Trump insisted they were again on Thursday, delaying the crippling strikes further.
“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 P.M., Eastern Time,” he wrote in a post on Truth Social. “Talks are ongoing and, despite erroneous statements to the contrary by the Fake News Media, and others, they are going very well.”
