US President Issues Ultimatum To Iranian Regime Till 20:00 Hours Today.

Washington DC; April 2026: US President Donald Trump has given an ultimatum to Iran to make a deal before Tuesday (07th April 2026) 20:00 Hours (Eastern Time), warning that there’ll be “no bridges, no power plants” after that.

Addressing reporters at the White House, Trump said that this is a “critical period” and Washington has given Tehran the necessary time to make a deal to put this war to an end. “This is a critical period. They asked for an extension of seven days; I gave them 10 days. They have till tomorrow. Now we will see what happens. A lot of people are affected by this. We are giving them until tomorrow, 8 o’clock, Eastern Time. After that, they are going to have no bridges. They are going to have no power plants. Stone ages”, Trump said.

Trump admitted that he was dealing with a “much more powerful Iran” when the conflict started on February 28, adding that the US has “decapitated” it, adding that these steps should have been taken 47 years ago. “I think it is going fine, but we will have to see. You have to understand, we have been dealing with these people for 47 years. I’m standing here with a much more powerful Iran than a month ago, not anymore. Right now, they are decapitated”, he said.

“This should’ve been handled by the seven presidents, and they are saying now that we should’ve done this a long time ago. It’s not something I like doing”, he added. Additionally, Trump claimed that the Iranian people have requested the US to “keep bombing” as they want freedom from the Iranian government. “We have had numerous intercepts, ‘Please keep bombing’, and these are people that are living where the bombs are exploding, they want freedom. They have lived in a world that you know nothing about. It is a violent, horrible world where if you protest, you are shot”, he said.

President Donald Trump has further asserted that the United States could secure the Iranian oil as the war in West Asia continues to expand, saying, “if I had my choice, I’m a businessman first”. Trump’s remark came when he was asked about securing Iran’s oil during a press briefing at the White House.

Trump referred to US actions in Venezuela to justify the idea. “If I had my choice. Yeah, cause I’m a businessman first. We are a partner with Venezuela, and we’ve taken hundreds of millions of barrels”, he said.

Trump signalled towards moving away from US policy and taking “the spoils” of war. “You know that to the winner belong the spoils. Go for the spoils. I’ve said why don’t we use it to the victor go the spoils.

We haven’t had that in this country, probably in a hundred years. We didn’t have it with the Second World War. We helped rebuild all those countries”, he said.

Additionally, Trump also called out US allies who “didn’t help” Washington in the war with Iran. “Japan didn’t help us, Australia didn’t help us, South Korea didn’t help us, and then you get to NATO — NATO didn’t help us”, Trump said at a White House news conference. Trump added of US assistance to the nations: “We’ve got 50,000 soldiers in Japan to protect them from North Korea; we have 45,000 soldiers in South Korea to protect them from Kim Jong Un”.

Trump then commended some Persian Gulf nations for their support, “Saudi Arabia has been excellent, Qatar has been excellent, UAE has been excellent, Bahrain, Kuwait”. US President Donald Trump said that Iran could be “taken out” in a single night, suggesting that such a move could come as early as Tuesday amid rising tensions in West Asia. He also claimed that American armed forces have conducted an extensive air campaign over Iran in recent weeks, carrying out more than 10,000 combat flights and striking over 13,000 targets over the past 37 days.

Trump’s remarks came as part of his warning to Iran over reopening the strategic Strait of Hormuz, for which he has set a deadline of Tuesday, 20:00 Hours (Eastern Time).

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth warned that, as per President Donald Trump directions there will be “largest volume of strikes” on Monday (local time) since the beginning of Operation Fury, adding that tomorrow’s strikes will surpass today’s if Iran doesn’t make the deal to put an end to the war. Addressing reporters at the White House, Hegseth cautioned Iran to “choose wisely”, warning that President Trump “does not play around. Per the president’s direction, today will be the largest volume of strikes since day one of this operation. Tomorrow, even more than today. And then Iran has a choice. Choose wisely, because this president does not play around”, he said.
