YahooApr 22, 2026
U.S. stocks are set to advance through another extended deadline on peace talks with Iran, with markets poised for solid gains following their first two-day decline in three weeks. President Donald Trump effectively issued an indefinite suspension of his Wednesday deadline for talks with Iran after the close of trading on Tuesday, declaring that the U.S. will hold off on attacking the nation until a new proposal is put forward, or “discussions are concluded, one way or the other.” “Based on the fact that the Government of Iran is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so, we have been asked to hold our Attack on the Country of Iran until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal,” Trump said.
