Trump: Ceasefire Extension 'Highly Unlikely' Without Deal; Threatens Power Plant Strikes

President Trump declared on April 21 that it was 'highly unlikely' he would extend the US-Iran ceasefire beyond its April 22 expiration if no deal was reached, reiterating his threat to 'knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran.' Trump's statement came as the US delegation was en route to Islamabad for what was shaping up to be a one-sided meeting, with Iran declining to confirm attendance. The core sticking points remain: the US demands a permanent end to all uranium enrichment and removal of Iran's ~441kg stockpile of 60%-enriched uranium; Iran has offered only a 3-to-5-year enrichment freeze, which the US has rejected. Iran's nuclear breakout time remained at an estimated 1-3 months. With the ceasefire under 24 hours from expiry, Trump's 66% disapproval rating on Iran war handling was noted by multiple outlets — yet his hardline stance appeared unchanged.
