US President Donald Trump says he will pause attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure for 10 days until April 6, claiming Tehran requested the move.

He said talks are going “very well”. The Iranians have not confirmed whether they also believe that to be the case.

On Monday, Trump announced he would pause his threat to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities until Friday, now that deadline has been extended again.
