Trump Announces 10-Day Pause on Iran Energy Plant Strikes, Says Talks ‘Going Very Well’

WASHINGTON, March 26: Donald Trump announced a temporary halt to attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure, stating that the pause comes at the request of the Iranian government as negotiations continue.

In a statement posted on his official social media account, Trump said the suspension of energy plant strikes would last for 10 days, until April 6 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. He indicated that discussions between the two sides are ongoing and progressing positively.

“Talks are ongoing and… they are going very well,” Trump said, dismissing reports suggesting otherwise as inaccurate.

The announcement marks a potential de-escalation in the ongoing conflict, with the pause seen as a window for diplomatic engagement. However, no immediate confirmation or response was issued by Iranian officials regarding the request or the status of the talks.

Trump’s statement comes amid continued tensions in the region, with both sides previously engaged in military actions targeting key infrastructure.
