Trump doubles down on April 7 deadline for Iran deal

President Donald Trump called a proposal for a 45-day ceasefire with Iran a “significant step” but said it is “not good enough.”

“They’ve made — they’re negotiating now, and they’ve made a very significant step. We’ll see what happens,” he added, CNN reports.

The president has set a deadline of April 7 at 8 p.m. ET for Iran to agree to a deal.

A last-ditch plan calling for a temporary 45-day ceasefire was sent to the US and Iran late on April 5 as an effort to stave off massive strikes on Iranian plants and other infrastructure.

“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP” the president wrote on TRuth Social on April 5.
