Trump says he extended a pause on hitting Iran's energy sites, claims talks are going well

President Trump said the U.S. would hold off for about 10 days on planned attacks against Iranian energy infrastructure. He stated he was extending a pause or ceasefire related to such strikes.

Trump claimed negotiations with Iran were 'going well' and 'ongoing,' and that Iran had made a 'present' by allowing oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. He suggested Iran wanted a deal 'so badly' it was 'begging,' though Iranian officials have publicly denied talks are happening.
