US President Donald Trump has announced a further 10-day delay in planned attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure, pushing the potential action to April 6. The decision comes as Washington signals that negotiations with Iran are progressing positively, with Trump describing the talks as “going very well.”
However, optimism appears limited on the Iranian side. A senior official in Tehran told Reuters that a recently received US peace proposal was viewed as “one-sided and unfair,” suggesting significant gaps remain between the two sides.
Diplomatic channels are quietly expanding. Ishaq Dar confirmed that Pakistan is actively mediating by relaying messages between US and Iranian officials. Additional support is being provided by Türkiye and Egypt in efforts to de-escalate the conflict.
Meanwhile, the human cost continues to rise. Iran’s Deputy Health Minister Ali Jafarian reported that at least 1,937 people have been killed in US-Israeli strikes across the country.
Tensions are also escalating in neighboring regions. Israel has issued evacuation orders for residents in southern Lebanon, specifically areas south of the Zahrani River. Lebanese health authorities report more than 1,100 deaths from Israeli attacks since early March, underscoring the widening impact of the conflict.
