President Donald Trump on April 6 firmly declared that there would be no further extensions to the deadline set for Iran, as tensions between the two nations escalate. Trump made his comments during an event at the White House, underlining that while Tehran’s recent proposal for a ceasefire is \u201csignificant,\u201d it is \u201cnot good enough.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>
\u201cThey made a proposal, and it\u2019s a significant proposal. It\u2019s a significant step,\u201d Trump told reporters. \u201cIt\u2019s not good enough, but it\u2019s a very significant step,\u201d he added, noting that Iran is currently in negotiations.<\/p>
Trump\u2019s remarks followed a statement from a White House official who revealed that the President has rejected an idea for a 45-day ceasefire that had reportedly been under consideration by both sides, as well as regional mediators, over the weekend.\u00a0<\/p>
The proposed ceasefire was viewed as a final attempt to avert further conflict as Trump\u2019s looming deadline for Iran to either reopen the vital Strait of Hormuz or face severe military consequences approaches. Trump warned that Iran must comply with US\u00a0demands or face \u201cmajor attacks\u201d on its civilian infrastructure.\u00a0<\/p>
\u201cWe\u2019ll see what happens,\u201d Trump said, suggesting that the conflict could be resolved rapidly if Iran meets key US\u00a0demands, particularly regarding its nuclear programme. \u201cWar could end very quickly if they do the things they need to do,\u201d the president added, further emphasising that Iran\u2019s pursuit of nuclear weapons is a \u201cred line\u201d for the US.\u00a0<\/p>
The US\u00a0president also appeared to indicate that military strikes on Iranian infrastructure remain a possibility, dismissing concerns about potential war crimes. \u201cI\u2019ve given them chances and they haven\u2019t taken them,\u201d Trump said, noting that Iran is under increasing pressure and may be considering a ceasefire. \u201cThey\u2019re getting obliterated,\u201d he remarked.\u00a0<\/p>
While Trump\u2019s comments signaled a tough stance, he also struck a cautiously optimistic note on diplomacy. He suggested that US\u00a0negotiators are engaging with \u201creasonable\u201d counterparts, and that talks could continue through various channels, possibly involving Vice President JD Vance.\u00a0<\/p>
On his Truth Social platform, Trump issued a stark warning to Iran, giving the country 48 hours to reach a deal or reopen the strategically crucial shipping lane. He cautioned that failure to comply would result in \u201chell,\u201d reiterating his earlier warnings and indicating that there would be no further leniency. This ultimatum follows a series of shifting deadlines, including a previous 10-day window and a temporary pause on strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure.\u00a0<\/p>
However, Iran has rejected the US\u00a0demands outright. The country\u2019s central military command dismissed Trump\u2019s latest ultimatum, with a senior commander calling the president\u2019s actions \u201chelpless, nervous, unbalanced and stupid.\u201d Iran\u2019s Foreign Ministry also rejected the U.S.\u2019s 15-point proposal, describing it as \u201cextremely ambitious and illogical.\u201d A spokesperson for the ministry indicated that Iran would present its own response to the US\u00a0framework at an appropriate time.\u00a0<\/p>
Iran has raised concerns about recent military operations, specifically a \u201cpilot rescue in Isfahan,\u201d which it suspects may have been an attempt to target its enriched uranium reserves. The Iranian government also warned that any ceasefire without clear guarantees could allow the opposing side to regroup and resume hostilities, increasing the risks of further conflict.<\/p> <\/div>
