President Trump extended the deadline for negotiations with Iran and paused his threat to bomb Iranian energy facilities by another 10 days. Why it matters: The Trump administration through a group of mediators, Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey, has asked Tehran to hold a high-level meeting this week to discuss a U.S. proposal for ending the war. - Trump's initial five-day pause on strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure was supposed to expire Saturday, and a dramatic military escalation will grow more likely if no progress is made in diplomatic talks, particularly if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. - The Pentagon is developing military options for a "final blow" in Iran that could include ground forces and a massive bombing…
