Trump Says He Will Hold Off On Striking Iran's Energy Sites For Another 10 Days by God1000(op): 9:53pm On Mar 26
President Donald Trump announced today that his administration will continue to hold off on strikes to Iranian energy sites for another 10 days.

“As per Iranian Government request, please let this statement serve to represent that I am pausing the period of Energy Plant destruction by 10 Days to Monday, April 6, 2026, at 8 P.M., Eastern Time. Talks are ongoing and, despite erroneous statements to the contrary by the Fake News Media, and others, they are going very well,” the president said on Truth Social.

The pause currently in place was set to expire on Friday. The president’s post came shortly after markets closed this afternoon.

The fear of Iran is the beginning of wisdom

Iran has already dared him to do his worst and the coward has chickened out as usual knowing the damage Iran will inflict on gulf countries in retaliation.

Dared? Iran has lost almost all their military commands,
almost all their political leader are gone ,
even the commander who order the Straits of Hormuz close is gone.

Iranian new appointed leaders live in constant fear of them being next target. That's why they're making deals now.

If they appoint you as a military commander in Iran, you'll know what they're going through. You won't come online to brag for people who fear they can leave this earth any time.

you need to study Iran's security architecture, it is so decentralized that killing a single individual will not in any way affect the country

Each of Iran's 31 provinces has its own IRGC headquarters, command-and-control structure, and chain of command.

"Every province is a mosaic, and the commanders have the ability and power to make decisions, "So, when they are cut off from their command in Tehran, they can still be able to function as a cohesive military force."

Re: Trump Says He Will Hold Off On Striking Iran's Energy Sites For Another 10 Days by Righteousness2(m):
A few key takeaways from earlier today from President Trump and his team:

▪️ We have destroyed Iran’s military capabilities in recent weeks.

▪️ This is a display of power and capabilities the world has never seen.

▪️ We are crushing their missiles and their production capabilities-their navy is gone. We are eliminating close to 90% of their launchers.


▪️ We have destroyed most of the missile and drone factories.

▪️ Iran is begging to make a deal-not me.

▪️ They are poor fighters but good negotiators.

▪️ I don’t know if we’ll reach a deal.

▪️ The Iranians are sick, and they had a plan to take over the entire Middle East.

▪️ Their navy has been sunk, their air force is gone, and all of their air defense capabilities are gone.

▪️ These Iranians are sick, even satanic people.

▪️ Britain has disappointed me greatly-so has NATO.

▪️ We would come to NATO’s aid-they are not coming to ours.

▪️ Now they all want to help-they should have come before the war, not now.


▪️ I told them, “Thank you very much, but it’s not necessary.”

▪️ Britain’s aircraft carriers are toys compared to what we have.

▪️ 154 Iranian ships are now at the bottom of the sea.

▪️ Iran has been defeated. There is no way for them to recover from this. They now have an opportunity to make a deal.


▪️ We’ll see if I can make the right deal-open the Strait of Hormuz.

▪️ They have an opportunity to permanently give up their nuclear ambitions.

▪️ Iran must reach an agreement or face continued American attacks.

▪️ As far as Iran is concerned-we will continue doing what we are doing.

▪️ This war is a test for NATO-the United States will remember this.

▪️ The Supreme Leader is no longer with us. It’s very sad-we should have prevented him from blowing up the world.

▪️ These people will kill as many Americans as they can when they have the opportunity, and if they obtain nuclear weapons, they could kill millions of Americans. That is a risk that should not be allowed to continue as long as we have this president. - Marco Rubio

▪️ We’ll see where things are going-whether we can convince Iran that there is no better alternative than a deal. - Steve Witkoff

▪️ There are strong signs that a deal can be reached. - Steve Witkoff

▪️ Here is a fact you’re not hearing on your networks: many of the Iranian factories and military bases we are systematically destroying were funded by piles of American cash that Barack Obama flew into Tehran. - Pete Hegseth


▪️ We welcome a deal, and we have the ultimate dealmaker to achieve it-but in the meantime, as I said yesterday, the Department of War will continue negotiating with bombs. - Pete Hegseth

▪️ Reporter: “Will you go in and take the uranium?”
▪️ Answer: “Let’s just say-whether yes or no-why would you think I’d answer that? It’s a ridiculous question. It’s not like I’m going to tell you ‘tomorrow at 3.’”

▪️ When I heard the German Chancellor say, “This is not our war,” I respond: “Ukraine is not our war.”

▪️ I’m considering canceling the federal fuel excise tax.

You reads this stuff online and thought it made sense.
Let me explain it simply:

All military commands have political officers who calls the shorts, so take out one, he'll be replaced, and it doesn't affect other military operations because they're lead by a different system of replaceable command.

What did you think US soldiers did during WW2, when they were spread around france, Germany, Japan, and Italy.

Now here's what all the commander of Us and Israel are afraid of NOTHING.

Iran hasn't killed anyone military leader.

Here's what Iran's newly appointed military and political leaders are afraid of: " what if I'm next?"

Almost all of them gone and replaced and gone.

The Straits of Hormuz commander didn't know it was his turn to go.

If you're a commander there, you'll understand.

It's not the replacement, it's the termination they fear.

No, you are not complaining because you're not there.

You and others brag online for Iran when they live in terror of being the next to go.

Changing the subject, alright.

Hormuz accounts for only 25% of the worlds oil transport, not 50, not 100 25.
A lot of nations don't need it.

Plus Iran loses more closing the Straits too , Zero oil sales from Iran since then, zero money for them, that's why they're begging.

All those guys would still be alive if they were hiding in bunkers like your cowardly God's chosen people.

Meanwhile your masters begging for a ceasefire. Na you kill off their military cabinet, na you still dey beg for the war to end. The fact that you're always rejoicing about killings upon killings shows how much of a sociopath you are. I won't be surprised if there are literal skeletons in your closet.

All I know is that the Iranian leadership must not feel relaxed, deception is part of warfare and Trump is trying to use it.
Those that killed your people on the middle of negotiations shouldn't be trusted.

When you align yourself with Terrorists,
Your capacity to reason dwindles Drastically.

Your Tears are sweet.
Show your Love for your Terrorists by going to Iran or wherever and Sleep in Bunker as you like.

The Children of ISRAEL will Smoke you out.

Ask Nasarallah, Sinwar
Ask Spirtual Leader and the rest Terrorists who spent the wealth of their people building and living in Underground Bunlkers.

Trump is the real man. Using a strategy to crash the oil market.

Trump will not want to attack the energy because it will be an attack on the Iranian people that he is trying to librate. But another thing is that he is also using it to presured the opening of the strait of hormuz.

The arabs is also affected by this war. And they want to get back to business as soon as possible. Reason they are begging trump concerning a military action.

Iran get rid of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. Never again to attack ship on the strait of hormuz.

Benefit of removed sanctions and behaves like a normal humans.

You people are hypocrites and fan@tics, you support the genocide in Gaza on the grounds that it was Hamas that first attacked Israel, now US and Israel attacked Iran unprovoked and killed their leader and you want them to do nothing

You are a terrorist supporter
