Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman.
President Trump is postponing a threat to hit Iranian power plants until Friday.
He cited, quote, productive talks with Iran, but Iran denies the talks are happening.
NPR's Emily Feng reports some Iranians are anxious the U.S.
Might end its war against Iran.
Iran's government continues to maintain a near-total telecommunications blackout,
but Noorani living just north of Tehran managed to send a text to NPR that it was,
quote, unacceptable for the U.S.
To end the war without toppling Iran's government first.
Iranians, they wrote, are, quote, only tolerating war, hoping that it will lead to their freedom.
Another Iranian who participated, mass anti-government demonstrations this past winter,
says the government killed three of his friends this January in a crackdown,
leading him to believe a popular uprising would never end the Iranian regime.
He says our only hope is that Trump and Bibi,
speaking of Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu, make the right moves.
