President Donald Trump pushed back the deadline for talks with Iran by one day to the 7th.
On the 5th (local time), President Trump posted on the social media platform Truth Social, without further explanation, "8 p.m. Tuesday Eastern time (9 a.m. on the 8th Korea time)." This is interpreted as extending the negotiation deadline, initially set for the 6th, by one day.
On the same day, in a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) interview, he also fixed the end of the talks for the evening of the 7th. President Trump said, "If nothing is done by then, there will be no power plants or bridges left," again stressing the possibility of a military response.
Earlier, on the 26th of last month, President Trump said he would delay an attack on Iran's energy facilities until 8 p.m. Eastern time on Apr. 6. The latest remark is seen as extending that grace period by one day to press for a deal.
