US-Iran Negotiators Pushing for 45-Day Deal as Trump’s Deadline Nears: Report

Conservative News DailyApril 6, 2026

Tensions are mounting as talks surface about a possible 45-day ceasefire to end the fighting around Iran, wiht regional negotiators shuttling between U.S. and Iranian sides and Pakistan said to be helping craft the framework. Amid the diplomacy, Trump posts belligerent messages threatening substantial strikes if a deal isn’t reached, while negotiators race to avert a Tuesday that could bring wide-scale devastation. Reports also note an Israeli airstrike on Iran’s largest petrochemical facility and describe the nascent ceasefire as contingent on broader concessions, including Iran’s demands to halt Israeli attacks in Gaza and Lebanon. U.S. and Iranian officials warn of intensified retaliation if attacks continue, and Axios characterizes the chances of a durable settlement as slim, though the initial 45-day period could be extended if a broader agreement emerges addressing the war’s underlying issues.

Talks are underway as Iran finds itself on the eve of destruction.

On Sunday, Trump posted a message mingling an f-bomb with the threat of real bombs – lots of them.

“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F—– Strait, you crazy bast—s, or you’ll be living in Hell,” Trump posted on Sunday on .

Although Trump has made drastic threats before, this one had negotiators working to avert the potential that Tuesday will bring devastation.

A report from Axios said that regional nations are shuttling between U.S. and Iranian negotiators to craft a 45-day ceasefire that could be a precursor to the end of the war.

Trump said a “good chance” exists that a ceasefire could take place, but kept up the belligerent rhetoric, saying “if they don’t make a deal, I am blowing up everything over there,” according to NBC.

The framework of a deal was developed by Pakistan, according to The Jerusalem Post, which cited a source it did not name.

“All elements need to be agreed today,” the source said.

The initial 45-day period could be extended, Axios reported.

The source said that negotiators believe only a permanent end to the war can resolve the future of Iran’s nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran closed as a form of economic blackmail during the war to stop oil from reaching nations needing it.

Iran also has demands, which include a halt to Israeli attacks in Gaza and Lebanon, Axios noted.

Axios’s reporting frames the chances of a deal as slim.

Iran said that if its infrastructure is attacked, it will reply in kind.

“If attacks on civilian targets are repeated, the subsequent phases of our offensive and retaliatory operations will be carried out much more crushingly and extensively, and the enemy’s losses and damages from persisting with this approach will be multiplied,” Ebrahim Zolfaghari, a representative for Iran’s military, said, according to The New York Times.
