Summary

Trump gave Iran a deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or “all Hell will reign down on them.” Trump’s threat comes only hours after Iran rejected a temporary ceasefire proposal, multiple outlets reported. Mojtaba Ferdousi Pour, head of Iran’s diplomatic mission in Cairo, told the Associated Press Iran “won’t merely accept a ceasefire,” adding, “We can only accept an end of the war with guarantees that we won’t be attacked again.” Iran reportedly sent their own peace proposal through Pakistan, multiple outletsreported citing Iranian state media. However, Trump implied the U.S. already rejected this proposal—speaking to reporters at Monday’s White House Easter Egg Roll, Trump called Iran’s offer “a significant proposal,” but immediately added, “it’s not good enough, but it’s a very significant step.” Trump also insisted his deadline of Tuesday night at 8 p.m. EDT for Iran to make a ceasefire deal would be his final deadline—one day after threatening the country’s power plants and bridges. Trump also claimed the U.S. was “obliterating” Iran, and said, “they just don’t want to say ‘uncle,’ they don’t want to cry as the expression goes, ‘uncle,’ but they will,” adding that if they don’t, “they will have no bridges, they will have no power plant, they will have no anything.” Read the full story on Forbes: By Ty Roush http://www.forbes.com/sites/tylerroush/2026/04/06/iran-rejects-trumps-ceasefire-proposal-as-deadline-nears/ Learn more about your ad choices.
