BlockBeats News, March 27 — Trump posted on social media that, at the request of the Iranian government, the deadline for destroying Iran’s energy facilities has been suspended for 10 days, until Monday, April 6, 2026, 8 p.m. Eastern Time. Negotiations are ongoing, and despite false reports from fake news media and others claiming otherwise, the progress of the negotiations is very smooth.
U.S. Secretary of State Blinken said on the 26th that negotiations between the U.S. and Iran have made progress, but he would not disclose details. Speaking to the media at the airport before heading to France for the G7 foreign ministers’ meeting, Blinken stated that some countries are acting as intermediaries to assist in information exchange, and there has indeed been some progress. However, he emphasized that it is “a continuous and unpredictable process,” so he would not publicly discuss or disclose specific details of the negotiations.
Additionally, according to The Wall Street Journal, mediators involved in the peace talks revealed that Iran has not requested the U.S. to suspend attacks on its energy facilities, nor has Iran given a final response to the 15-point plan to end the war. Trump stated that the delay was at Iran’s request. The mediators said that Iranian officials have told them Iran is interested in negotiations, but the Iranian leadership has not yet participated or made a final decision. The mediators also said that Iranian officials have asked the U.S. to reduce its excessive demands in the 15-point plan before agreeing to meet and discuss a possible ceasefire. Iran has also ruled out discussing its missile program as a starting point for negotiations and is unwilling to commit to an indefinite halt to uranium enrichment activities. The mediators noted that the chances of a successful ceasefire remain low because the tough demands from both the U.S. and Iran exceed what the other side can accept.
