President Donald Trump announced an extension of the deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, delaying potential U.S. strikes on Iranian power plants until April 6. The decision follows a Cabinet meeting and claims that talks with Iran are progressing, according to reports from PBS NewsHour and ABC News. Trump had previously set a shorter deadline, threatening action if the key oil transit route remained closed. In a related development, the Senate early Friday approved a funding package for the Department of Homeland Security that covers the Transportation Security Administration and most other DHS agencies but excludes full immigration enforcement operations and border patrol funding. The Associated Press and Los Angeles Times reported that the measure aims to resolve disruptions at airports while leaving core border security elements unresolved amid ongoing budget disputes. These events highlight intersecting foreign policy pressures and domestic funding battles over national security priorities.
