Paul Yeung | Bloomberg via Getty Images Asia-Pacific markets fell Friday following a volatile session on Wall Street overnight, as investors continued to parse the contradictory messaging on the Middle East from the U.S. and Iran. President Donald Trump extended his Friday deadline to attack Iran's energy infrastructure by 10 days to April 6 to allow more time for negotiations. The extension was at the request of the government of the Islamic Republic, Trump said, and it was granted in exchange for 10 oil tankers that passed through the Strait of Hormuz as a "present" from Tehran. "As per Iranian Government request, please let this statement serve to represent that I am pausing the period of Energy Plant destruction," Trump said in a Truth Social post. "Talks are ongoing and, despite erroneous statements to the contrary by the Fake News Media, and others, they are going very well," Trump added. Washington has in recent days signaled it wants a negotiated end to the conflict and insisted that peace talks with the Islamic Republic had been ongoing. Tehran has denied that it is in direct talks with the U.S. Oil prices rose Thursday but later showed signs of easing amid signs of progress towards a U.S.-Iran peace deal. The West Texas Intermediate for May delivery was last down 1.3% at $93.29 per barrel as of 7:03 p.m. ET, while international benchmark Brent crude oil futures settled at $108.01 a barrel.

SMIC, China's largest chipmaker, has sent chipmaking tools to Iran's military, two senior Trump administration officials said on Thursday, raising questions about Beijing's stance in the month-old U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran. SMIC, which has been heavily sanctioned by the U.S. government over alleged ties to the Chinese military, began sending the tools to Iran roughly a year ago and "we have no reason to believe that any of this has stopped," one of the officials said. The official added that the collaboration "almost certainly included technical training on SMIC's semiconductor technology."

Trump To Sign Order To Pay TSA Agents Authored by Jacki Thrapp via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), President Donald Trump plans to sign an order that will pay Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents who have not received a check since the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) entered a partial shutdown in mid-February. “I am going to sign an Order instructing the Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, to immediately pay our TSA Agents in order to address this Emergency Situation, and to quickly stop the Democrat Chaos at the Airports,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on March 26. More than 3,120 TSA agents, who haven’t been paid in weeks, called out on Wednesday, which prompted long lines to continue at airports across the country, according to a statement the DHS shared with The Epoch Times. “ It is not an easy thing to do, but I am going to do it! “ Trump added. ”I want to thank our hardworking TSA Agents and also, ICE, for the incredible help they have given us at the Airports.” Trump has blamed the Democrats for keeping DHS shut down, while Democrats have pushed for changes to immigration enforcement operations as a condition for funding the department. On March 25, Senate Democrats blocked funding for DHS in a 54–46 vote after Republicans rejected a counteroffer they put forward. On the same day, Democrats separately offered a standalone bill that would immediately fund TSA, but not ICE and Customs and Border Protection. Republicans blocked the proposal. This is a breaking story and will be updated. Tyler Durden Thu, 03/26/2026 - 20:10
