President Donald Trump has delayed the deadline for Iran to reach a deal concerning the Strait of Hormuz to April 7, 2026, after previously shifting it from March 23. He threatened that without an agreement, Iran would face severe military consequences, stating, “Hell will reign down on them.” The Iranian government, however, has rejected the latest ceasefire proposal, expressing distrust towards the Trump administration due to past U.S. military actions. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres warned that attacks on civilian infrastructure are prohibited under international law, a concern Trump dismissed, claiming he is unconcerned about committing war crimes. As the deadline approaches, Trump has issued a series of mixed messages, oscillating between threats and claims of productive negotiations. A regional official involved in the discussions indicated that talks have not collapsed, and efforts continue on both sides. Meanwhile, media outlets in Israel have been closely monitoring the situation, featuring countdowns to the deadline.
