President Donald Trump told Fox News on Thursday that Iran initially asked him to pause US strikes on the country’s energy sites for seven days, but he decided to give them 10, making the deadline April 6, APA reports.
“They said to me very nicely, through my people, ‘Could we have more time?’ Because we’re talking about tomorrow night, which is pretty quick, and if they don’t do what they have to do, I will knock out their power plants,” Trump said.
“They asked for seven, and I said, ‘I’m going to give you 10,’ because they gave me ships,” he added.
Trump said that Iranian officials were “very thankful” about that.
