Trump et la Maison Blanche nient tous deux avoir fixé une date limite pour la prolongation du cessez-le-feu

Gold Finance reports that on April 23rd, Trump stated in an interview with Fox News that reports about a 3 to 5-day window to extend the ceasefire are false. Regarding Iran’s detention of ships in the Strait of Hormuz, Trump said they are not American ships and that he will continue to monitor the situation. When asked about when the war might end, Trump said there is no timetable and he is not in a hurry. “People say I want to resolve this quickly because of the midterm elections, but that’s not true,” Trump said, adding that the government hopes to secure a good deal for Americans. Trump also said that blockade is more frightening to them than bombing; they have been bombed for many years, but what they hate is the blockade. Once oil wells are shut down, sometimes they are permanently closed. Trump expects that when negotiations resume, Iran’s foreign minister will still be there. Earlier, Fox News and Axios reported that Trump extended the ceasefire period by 3 to 5 days, not indefinitely. In response, White House Press Secretary LaVitt also issued a statement saying that Trump has not set a final deadline for the extension of the ceasefire with Iran, and the claim that Iran has 3 to 5 days to respond is not true.
