U.S. President Donald Trump has extended until April 6 the ultimatum given to Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz under the threat of an attack on power plants. En the military period the decision has come, and there has been no clear progress in the negotiations that Washington has opened.
Trump has announced a 10-day\ u00A0 moratorium on attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure. He has explained that the measure responds to a request from Tehran and aims to facilitate diplomatic relations.

The US president has indicated that Iran has allowed ten oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz as a gesture of goodwill.
