President Donald Trump has postponed a planned escalation against Iran, delaying a deadline for potential strikes on energy facilities by 10 days, now set for April 6.

The move comes as diplomatic efforts continue, with Trump claiming negotiations are “going very well,” even as Iranian officials reject key elements of a U.S. proposal to end the conflict.

The American plan reportedly includes dismantling Iran’s nuclear program, limiting its missile capabilities and cutting support for regional proxy groups. Iran has called the proposal “one-sided and unfair,” signaling major gaps remain.

At the same time, the U.S. is weighing military options. Officials say Trump is considering a possible ground operation aimed at increasing pressure on Tehran, including targeting strategic oil infrastructure.

Despite optimism from U.S. officials, mediators caution that Iran is unlikely to accept terms it previously rejected, even under military pressure.

On the battlefield, tensions continue to escalate. Israeli strikes have targeted Iranian missile facilities, while Iran has launched multiple missile barrages toward Israel.

Israel, for its part, expects to be informed of any deal but has limited influence over negotiations between Washington and Tehran.

For now, the delay provides a brief diplomatic window — but the situation remains volatile, with both a deal or further escalation possible in the coming days.
