Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Extends Iran Deadline on Strait of Hormuz to April 7
Caption: Trump Extends Iran Deadline on Strait of Hormuz to April 7. Donald Trump has extended the deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face strikes on its energy infrastructure. The new deadline is set for April 7, after a 10-day pause on threatened attacks against Iranian energy plants. Trump said talks are ongoing and “going very well,” despite Tehran insisting no negotiations are taking place. Iran had earlier rejected a 15-point U.S. proposal aimed at ending the conflict, which was delivered via Pakistan. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said there may be indirect contacts and possible talks in Pakistan soon. The war, which began with U.S.-Israeli strikes on February 28, has spread across the Middle East and driven up global energy prices. Iran has not confirmed requesting the pause, and reports suggest mediators doubt Trump’s claim. Meanwhile, fresh strikes in Iran — including in Qom, Tehran and Urumia — have caused civilian casualties, as Israel said it hit key missile production sites.
