Trump Claims Iran Requested 10-Day Pause in Energy Strikes, Tehran Denies
U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Truth Social that he extended a pause in strikes on Iran's energy facilities by 10 days, until April 6, at Tehran's request.
Trump said the extension came after Iran sought the pause and added that talks are "going very well."
Iran denied making the request. Tehran disputed claims of smooth direct negotiations, insisting that contacts remain indirect and that any proposals must be fair and balanced.
The announcement follows an initial pause in actions against Iran's energy infrastructure. Trump presented the extension as a positive development in ongoing discussions.
No further details on the nature of the talks or the specific energy facilities involved were provided in Trump's statement. Iranian officials emphasized their position that negotiations, if they occur, must address underlying issues equitably.
This development highlights ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran over energy targets amid broader diplomatic efforts.
