Trump posted that, at the Iranian government's request, he was pausing the 'period of Energy Plant destruction' by 10 days to 8 p.m. Eastern on Monday, April 6, saying talks were going very well. It was his second postponement since threatening Iran's power grid over the Strait of Hormuz.

Why it matters

The new deadline set the next decision point for strikes on Iran's grid, which Iran has said it would answer by hitting Gulf energy and water plants.
