This comes after the president extended the deadline multiple times (on March 23, March 26, and April 5). He says this is his last and final offer.
We have a plan because of the power of our military, where every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o’clock tomorrow night, where every power plant in
Iran will be out of business, burning, exploding, and never to be used again. I mean complete demolition by 12 o’clock, and it will happen over a period of four hours if we wanted to.
We don’t want that to happen,” Trump said.
On Monday, Tehran rejected a 45-day ceasefire proposal, saying it wants a permanent end to the war and guarantees it won’t be attacked again.
Trump called the plan a significant step, but added it’s not good enough. Later in the day, the president commented on potential ongoing negotiations.
“I can tell you that we have an active, willing participant on the other side. They would like to be able to make a deal. I can’t say any more than that,” Trump said.
Trump has continued to demand that Iran reopen the Strait, or much of its infrastructure will be wiped out, saying after Tuesday night, “They’re going to have no bridges, they’re going to have no power plants.”
