Trump Pushes Deadline by 20 Hours

President Trump has extended his Iran deadline to Tuesday at 8PM Eastern Time, posting the new cutoff on Truth Social. This comes as Axios reports mediators are discussing a potential 45-day ceasefire.

What Trump Said

Trump posted a “good chance of a deal” after what sources described as an expletive-filled outburst over the Hormuz closure impact on oil prices. He is under domestic pressure as US gas prices surge 37% since the war began.

45-Day Ceasefire Framework

The proposed ceasefire would halt all military operations for 45 days, begin phased reopening of Strait of Hormuz, establish humanitarian corridors, and create a roadmap for broader nuclear negotiations. Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey are facilitating the talks.

Military Operations Continue

CNN reports US and Israel targeted oil facilities inside Iran while Iran hit towns in Israel and refineries across Gulf countries. The continued violence complicates negotiations.

Tuesday Deadline

If no deal by Tuesday 8PM ET, Trump has promised devastating strikes on Iran energy infrastructure. Oil could spike to $150+ per barrel, devastating the global economy.
