US President Donald Trump again pushed back his deadline for Iran to reach a deal with the US or face more attacks, saying talks with the country were going “very well.” Trump said he would extend, by 10 days, his pledge to refrain from strikes on Iranian energy sites, the second extension since Saturday’s threat to eviscerate Iran’s power plants, in absence of a deal. It’s still unclear who the US is negotiating with since several top Iranian government and military officials have been killed.
