The 8 p.m. Deadline
President Trump’s deadline for Iran expires tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern, with the president threatening to destroy the regime’s power plants and bridges if it fails to agree to a deal. The Trump administration proposed a 45-day ceasefire requiring the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump called Iran’s counterproposal “significant” but said it doesn’t go far enough.
