Trump Extends Pause on Iran Energy Strikes as Negotiations Continue
by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Washington D.C. Bureau Chief
(Worthy News) – U.S. President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he is extending a temporary halt on U.S. strikes targeting Iranian energy infrastructure by an additional 10 days, signaling a continued window for diplomacy amid an escalating conflict.
The president said the pause—initially set to expire this weekend—will now remain in effect until April 6 at 8 p.m. Eastern, following a direct request from the Iranian government.
“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,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Talks are ongoing… and they are going very well.”
The decision comes as Washington and Tehran remain engaged in high-stakes negotiations aimed at de-escalating tensions after weeks of sustained military pressure. Trump indicated earlier in the week that discussions had been “very good and productive,” prompting him to initially delay planned strikes for five days.
The extended pause suggests that while the United States had been preparing significant strikes on Iran’s energy sector—seen as a critical component of the regime’s economic and military capacity—it is opting to give diplomacy additional time to succeed.
At the same time, the president issued a sharp warning to Iranian negotiators, accusing them of sending mixed signals.
“The Iranian negotiators are very different and ‘strange.’ They are ‘begging’ us to make a deal… They better get serious soon, before it is too late,” Trump said, warning that failure to reach an agreement could trigger severe consequences.
The contrasting rhetoric highlights the fragile nature of the ongoing talks, with both sides balancing public messaging, military pressure, and diplomatic maneuvering.
For now, the pause in strikes appears to serve as both an incentive and a deadline—offering Iran a final opportunity to reach a deal while underscoring that the threat of expanded military action remains firmly on the table.
