The pause, effective until <strong>Monday, April 6, 2026<\/strong>, comes at the request of the Iranian government as diplomatic talks continue. Trump noted that negotiations are &quot;progressing well&quot; despite what he characterized as &quot;erroneous statements&quot; from media outlets regarding the state of the discussions.<\/p>\n<p>The geopolitical landscape remains complex as <strong>Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov<\/strong> confirmed the existence of a <strong>military-technical cooperation agreement<\/strong> between Russia and Iran. Lavrov stated that Russia has already supplied military products to Tehran, highlighting the deepening ties between the two nations. This confirmation adds a layer of international friction to the ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations and the temporary ceasefire on energy targets.<\/p>\n<p>Wall Street faced a brutal session on Thursday as the <strong>Nasdaq Composite<\/strong> officially entered a correction.

This decline marks a significant retreat from the record highs seen on October 29, driven by investor anxiety over geopolitical stability and domestic fiscal uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>Other major indices also saw sharp declines during the session.
