Trump Announces 10-Day Delay in Attacking Irans Energy Sector

President Donald Trump announced that his administration will continue to delay attacks on Iran's energy sector by another 10 days, citing requests from the Iranian government amid reports of negotiations between the two sides.

On 26 Mar 2026, US President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that the US would postpone attacks on Iran's power plants and energy infrastructure by another 10 days, after previously delaying them by 5 days. This follows US confirmation of ongoing talks with Iran to find a way to end the conflict.

"At the request of the Iranian government, let this statement serve as an announcement that I will suspend the period of destruction against energy production facilities for another 10 days, until Monday, 6 April 2026, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET)."

"Negotiations are still underway, and despite misleading statements from fake news media and others claiming otherwise, the talks are progressing very well," the president said via the Truth Social platform.

The current 5-day suspension order is set to expire on Friday. The president's post came shortly after stock markets closed this afternoon local time.
