11 Minutes After the U.S. Stock Market Crash! Trump Suddenly Changes Tone: Giving Iran an Additional 10 Days

U.S. President Donald Trump stated on the 26th local time that, at Iran's government request, he will delay the "destruction" of Iran's energy facilities by 10 days, extending the deadline to 8:00 PM Eastern Time on April 6 (8:00 AM Beijing Time on April 7). He also added that negotiations are ongoing and progressing "very smoothly."
Observers noted that Trump announced this news 11 minutes after the U.S. stock market closed.
That day, U.S. stocks experienced the worst single-day decline since the outbreak of war. However, after the announcement, oil prices remained on the rise, reflecting that market sentiment had not been soothed, and the conflicting signals from the U.S. and Iran added uncertainty to the situation.

Three Statements in Seven Days
In just seven days, Trump's ultimatums have changed several times. Initially, on the 21st, he threatened Iran that it must open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours or face destruction of its power plants. On the 23rd, he posted on social media that the U.S. and Iran had conducted "very good and productive" talks over the past two days, and the U.S. would "delay 5 days" before bombing Iran's power plants.
Now, the delay has been extended from 5 days to 10 days. Besides extending the "final warning" date, Trump mentioned two details that day. First, this move is "at Iran's government request."
Second, he said Iran asked for a one-week extension, but he decided to extend it by 10 days "because they gave me ships." Earlier, Trump stated that Iran allowed 10 oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz this week as a "gift" to the U.S.
However, Trump's statement quickly drew public skepticism. According to Xinhua News Agency, The Wall Street Journal reported on the 26th, citing mediators, that Iran did not "ask" the U.S. to delay the attack on energy facilities. Lebanese media quoted Iranian sources as saying
