WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has extended a deadline for Iran to cut a deal or open the Strait of Hormuz from Monday to Tuesday. This is the latest in several deadline delays. Trump warns that without a deal, “Hell will reign down on them.” He initially set a deadline for March 23 but postponed it several times, now suggesting Tuesday at 8 p.m. will be final. Iranian state media reported Monday that it rejected a ceasefire proposal. Trump has threatened to attack bridges, electrical plants and oil wells if a deal isn’t struck.
