The Trump administration has not approved a proposed 45-day ceasefire with Iran as a key deadline over the Strait of Hormuz approaches, reported by CNBC, citing a White House official.
According to the report, the ceasefire remains under discussion but is only one of several options and has not received President Donald Trump’s backing.
“If they (the Iranians) don’t do something by Tuesday evening, they won’t have any power plants and they won’t have any bridges standing,” the President told the @WSJ in an eight-minute interview on Sunday. pic.twitter.com/fBvpyIAsIU

The report said Trump has warned of major strikes on Iranian infrastructure, including bridges and power plants, if Tehran does not reopen the strategic waterway by Tuesday evening. Officials confirmed that military operations under “Operation Epic Fury” are continuing.
Trump’s recent statements signal a possible extension of earlier deadlines, though his rhetoric has grown more aggressive. According to the report, mediators are still exploring diplomatic options, but no agreement has been reached.
The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical flashpoint in the conflict, with global markets closely watching developments as the deadline nears and the risk of escalation increases.
