President Donald Trump announced in a Fox News interview Thursday that the United States has granted Iran a 10-day reprieve from attacks on energy infrastructure. "I couldn't let crazy people have nuclear weapons," Trump stated, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation. This diplomatic pause comes as regional tensions continue to escalate, with military operations targeting sites in both Tehran and Beirut.
According to Trump, Iranian officials requested the initial seven-day extension through diplomatic channels amid concerns over potential further escalation. The move reflects ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran, though uncertainty remains about Iran's nuclear ambitions and the broader regional conflict.
