△Local time on April 6, U.S. President Trump holds a press conference at the White House

Local time on April 6, at a press conference held at the White House, U.S. President Trump said that if Iran fails to “surrender” before 20:00 on April 7 in U.S. Eastern Time, he will launch strikes on Iran’s civilian infrastructure.

Trump said that a deal he can accept must be reached before the final deadline on April 7. He claimed that he would destroy Iran’s bridges and power plants: “I have already put together a plan.” Once activated, “every bridge inside Iran will be completely destroyed, and every power plant inside Iran will be completely disabled.” He also said that if the U.S. is willing, “the entire destruction process would take only four short hours.” However, he claimed that “he does not want this to happen.”

Trump also said that the Iranian side indeed has “an active and willing participant,” and that they “hope to reach an agreement,” but he is currently not in a position to disclose more details.

Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, Trump said that reopening the strait is of paramount importance. He also said that the tolls for ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz should be collected by the United States rather than Iran. (CCTV reporter Cao Jian)
