U.S. President Donald Trump has said he would continue holding off on attacking Iran’s energy infrastructure for another 10 days, until April 6, at Tehran’s request.
In a post on Truth Social, the US president claimed talks are going “very well” and repeated his attacks on the “fake news media” for reporting to the contrary (Iran has also reported to the contrary).
Trump threatened last Saturday to would strike Iranian energy infrastructure if Tehran did not reopen the strait of Hormuz, TheGuardian reports.
Then, on Monday he postponed his threat for five days (until Friday), citing “very good and productive conversations” with Iran on ending the war (which Tehran dismissed as “fake news” designed to “manipulate” the oil markets).
So, he’s now pushing that deadline back, again.
