On the same day, Trump said that the conflict with Iran could end very quickly if Tehran fulfilled the necessary conditions. He also called Tuesday, April 7, the last deadline for ending the war. The US president added that the main goal is to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt said on March 30 that Trump intends to reach a deal with Iran by April 6. According to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, contacts with Iran continue, including through third countries.

On April 6, the Axios portal learned that the United States and Iran, with the participation of regional mediators, are discussing the possibility of concluding a truce for a period of 45 days. At the same time, it was noted that the chances of concluding an agreement within the next 48 hours are low. Nevertheless, these negotiations represent the last chance to stop the escalation of the conflict.
