President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he is hitting pause on his plans to destroy Iran’s power plants hours before his 5-day deadline was set to expire.
The move marks Trump’s second extension after first threatening to strike Iran’s energy infrastructure on Saturday. On Monday, he postponed, citing “very good and productive conversations” with Iran, which it denied.
Then, again on Thursday, Trump announced his second pause in a Truth Social post, writing, “As per Iranian Government request, please let this statement serve to represent that I am pausing the period of Energy Plant destruction by 10 Days to Monday, April 6, 2026, at 8 P.M., Eastern Time.”
