On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump escalated his threats against Iran, extending them to include all power plates and bridges. He issued an ultimatum to Iran to reach an agreement after Tehran rejected a 45-day ceasefire proposal and stated its desire for a permanent end to the war.
Trump hinted that the 8p.m. deadline on Tuesday was final, saying he had already granted Iran sufficient extensions.
Israel is putting pressure on Iran by attacking a major petrochemical plant and killing the head of intelligence for the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard.
“We only accept an end of the war with guarantees that we won’t be attacked again,” Mojtaba Ferdousi Pour, head of Iran’s diplomatic mission in Cairo said. He added that following the American’ two airstrikes against the Islamic Republic of Iran during the earlier rounds of talks, Iran no longer trusts the Trump administration.
