US halts attacks on Iran's energy sites for ten days
US President Donald Trump has said he is temporarily suspending attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure at Tehran’s request.
The pause will last ten days, until April 6, 2026 at 8pm Eastern Time.
Trump said negotiations with Iran were continuing and were going ‘very well’. He rejected media reports suggesting otherwise, describing them as inaccurate.
The temporary halt comes amid ongoing tensions between the US and Iran, with further developments likely to depend on the outcome of the talks.
