Washington, Mar 27:
US President Donald Trump has announced a 10-day pause on planned strikes targeting Iran’s energy infrastructure, citing progress in ongoing negotiations with Tehran.
The pause, which will remain in effect until April 6, comes at Iran’s request and is seen as an effort to create space for diplomacy amid escalating conflict in the region.
Trump stated that “talks are ongoing” and “going very well,” expressing optimism about a possible breakthrough despite continued tensions.
The move follows weeks of intense military exchanges between US-Israeli forces and Iran, raising fears of a broader regional war. Analysts say the temporary halt could open the door for backchannel negotiations and potential de-escalation. .
However, uncertainty remains as fighting continues on multiple fronts, with both sides yet to agree on key conditions for a lasting resolution.
