US President Donald Trump has extended a pause on attacks against Iran's energy plants into April, citing a request from Tehran. However, a report by the Wall Street Journal disputes this claim, stating that Iran did not seek a pause.
According to Trump, talks with Iran are 'going very well,' but the Iranian government denies engaging in negotiations with Washington.
The four-week war has spread across the Middle East, killing thousands and hitting the global economy with soaring energy prices.
Trump has not identified who the US is negotiating with in Iran, but is under pressure to persuade Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz for oil and gas flows.
