Trump extends deadline for Iran to re-open Strait of Hormuz as stock markets fall | BBC News


President Trump has claimed that talks with Iran are “going very well” and he’s said he’s giving its leaders a further 10 days to re-open the Strait of Hormuz, before launching threatened attacks on the country’s energy sites.

In a post on his Truth Social media platform Trump wrote: "As per Iranian Government request… I am pausing the period of Energy Plant destruction by 10 Days.”

Earlier, the US president said the US would be Iran’s “worst nightmare” if it doesn’t agree to a peace plan. His special envoy Steve Witkoff confirmed that he has sent a 15-point peace plan to Iran.

Trump said talks with Iran were continuing and claimed it had let some oil tankers pass through the Strait of Hormuz as a “present” to him. Iran has denied that talks to end the war are taking place.

US stocks fell again, adding to steep falls seen since the start of the war.
