Trump postpones attack on Iran's power plants until April

US President Donald Trump has said he will delay attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure by 10 days, until April 6, in order for Iran to make a deal to end the war. In a post on social media, he continued to claim that talks with Iran on a peace deal are going "very well," but Tehran rejected the US proposal as unfair.

"At the request of the Iranian Government, please allow this statement to serve as a representation that I am suspending the period of destruction of the nuclear power plant by 10 days until Monday, April 6, 2026, at 8:00 PM Eastern Time. Negotiations are ongoing and, despite false statements to the contrary by the Fake News Media and others, they are going very well," Trump said on his Truth Social platform.

In a statement to Fox News, Trump declared: “I gave them a 10-day period, they asked for seven.” He also went on to declare victory in the war, adding: “In a way, we have already won.”

Iran has stated that it is not engaged in talks with Washington, and Trump has not identified with whom the US is negotiating in Iran, with many senior officials killed in the war.

Meanwhile, an unidentified senior Iranian leader told Reuters news agency that officials in Tehran had received a peace proposal from the US, which the official described as "one-sided and unfair."

Iran has said it will retaliate with attacks on energy facilities in the Gulf region if Trump carries out his threat.
