The ultimatum is tied directly to demands that Iran abandon any pursuit of nuclear weapons and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important oil routes in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">\u201cI hope I don\u2019t have to do it,\u201d Trump added, but doubled down on the threat, dismissing concerns that targeting infrastructure could amount to war crimes. \u201cYou know what\u2019s a war crime? Having a nuclear weapon.\u201d Which consequently is something the U.S. has more of than any country in the world. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">At the same time, Pete Hegseth confirmed that Monday would see the largest volume of U.S. strikes since the operation began, with even more expected Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Trump claimed the U.S. also has intercepted communications suggesting some Iranian civilians would be willing to endure further conflict if it meant the possibility of political change, though no evidence was publicly provided.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Meanwhile, negotiations continue, but Trump made it clear that Iran\u2019s latest proposal isn\u2019t enough. \u201cThey made a proposal it\u2019s not good enough.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">With a deadline now hours away, situation is sitting on a knife\u2019s edge, between a negotiated pause and a potentially massive escalation.<\/span><!--\/data\/user\/0\/com.samsung.android.app.notes\/files\/clipdata\/clipdata_bodytext_260407_032720_602.sdocx--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Raju Lama\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Washington.\u201cThe entire country can be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night.\u201d That\u2019s what President [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":6229,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6228","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/timesasian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260407_032508.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/timesasian.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6228","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/timesasian.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/timesasian.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timesasian.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timesasian.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6228"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/timesasian.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6228\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6232,"href":"https:\/\/timesasian.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6228\/revisions\/6232"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timesasian.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/timesasian.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timesasian.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6228"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timesasian.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
