President Donald Trump has, once again, extended the deadline he imposed on Iran to reopen the Strait or Hormuz or risk US strikes on their energy infrastructure.
In a post on Truth Social on Thursday, the US President said he will hold off on bombing Iran’s energy plants until 6 April, as "per Iranian government request".
He added: "Talks are ongoing and, despite erroneous statements to the contrary by the fake news media, and others, they are going very well."
Meanwhile the war, despite being thousands of miles away, has put the Philippines in peril, and so on Thursday drivers, students, shop workers, all took to the streets protesting, for more help from their government and for an end to the conflict.
