Donald Trump gives Iran 10 more days – and the world holds its breath

In an interview with Fox News, Trump said that Iranian officials had asked through mediators for more time before a possible escalation, and he agreed to extend the deadline. “They asked for seven – and I gave them ten,” he said, adding that the talks continue and “are progressing quite well.” Trump warned that if Iran does not comply, Washington may attack additional infrastructure, including power plants.

In addition, Trump announced on Truth Social that at the request of the Iranian government, he is extending the deadline to April 6 at 20:00 EST, and claimed that the talks are “progressing very well.”

The diplomatic signals come against the background of continued escalation. Tomorrow will be four weeks since the United States and Israel attacked Iran. The Pentagon has confirmed that additional forces are being transferred to the Middle East, and according to Axios, Trump has received military options on his desk that include attacks on Iranian targets and even the possible takeover of strategic islands.
