The president threatened to order attacks to destroy all of Iran’s bridges and power plants if the deadline is not met. This follows comments made by Trump at the White House on April 6, 2026, where he asserted that the entire country could be taken out in one night and suggested that the event could occur the following evening.

Military Actions and Iranian Response

A U.S. Official confirmed on April 7, 2026, that American forces conducted new strikes against military targets on Kharg Island, which serves as a vital location for Iranian oil exports. The official stated that oil infrastructure was not targeted during the overnight attacks, consistent with similar operations conducted in mid-March.

Additional reports indicate that airstrikes hit a train station and two bridges in Iran on April 7, 2026. In response to the escalation, Iranian officials have urged young people to form human chains to protect infrastructure.

Diplomatic Negotiations

Despite the threats, President Trump indicated that diplomatic efforts are ongoing. On April 6, 2026, he told reporters that Iran had submitted a significant proposal. While he described the proposal as not good enough, he characterized it as a very significant step.

The president described Iran as an active, willing participant in the negotiations and stated his belief that the Iranians are negotiating in good faith.

In his April 7, 2026, social media post, Trump suggested that a revolutionarily wonderful outcome remains possible. He argued that Iran is currently being led by different, smarter, and less radicalized minds.

Trump described the deadline as one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World.
