Trump Sets April 22 Deadline for Iran

President Donald Trump has issued a stark ultimatum to Iran, warning that if a nuclear deal is not reached by April 22, the United States will not extend the ceasefire and may resume bombing. Trump stated publicly, "If there's no agreement with Iran, we could bomb them again without extending the ceasefire," signaling an uncompromising stance. Multiple South Korean and international outlets confirmed the remarks.

Trump explicitly named April 22 as the negotiation deadline, making clear that military action could be reinstated if no agreement on ending hostilities is concluded by that date. Analysts view the move as a high-pressure negotiating tactic aimed at forcing Iran to the table.

Military pressure is also escalating. The U.S. military has been enforcing a naval blockade against Iran, turning back 14 vessels over the past three days, according to Newsis. The development underscores Washington's dual-track strategy of combining diplomatic pressure with military and economic coercion.

The international community is closely watching Iran's response and the pace of negotiations as the deadline rapidly approaches amid heightened tensions in the Middle East.
