Axios shared further:

President Trump’s 10-day deadline to Iran was expected to expire Monday evening. But on Sunday, Trump extended his deadline by 20 hours and posted on Truth Social a new deadline of Tuesday at 8pm ET.

Trump told Axios on Sunday that the U.S. is “in deep negotiations” with Iran and that a deal can be reached before his deadline expires on Tuesday.

“There is a good chance, but if they don’t make a deal, I am blowing up everything over there,” he said.

“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***in’ Strait, you crazy b******s, or you’ll be living in H*** – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah,” Trump warned on Sunday.

More from The Jerusalem Post:

Mediators are also working on measures the US could take to address some of Iran’s demands.

Iranian mediators have made clear that they do not want a Gaza or Lebanon situation “where there is a ceasefire on paper but where the US and Israel can attack again whenever they want to,” Axios wrote.

Mediators have urged Iranian officials not to delay any further, stressing that the next 48 hours are the last opportunity for them to reach a deal.
