Iran Rejects Pakistan's Peace Plan, Warns of Darkness

0:00It's April 6th. This is Calgary News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Iran just shot down Pakistan's two-step plan to stop the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The proposal pushed for an immediate truce, then a full peace deal. But Teflon wants a permanent fix right away. No half measures. Pakistan's top military guy, Phil Marshall Aseem Manir, stayed up all night talking with U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, media-esque invoice Steve Whitkoff, and Iran's Foreign Minister. Mediators like Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey have been floating a 45-day ceasefire as a starter. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson made it clear. They've got their own demands and won't budge under threats or ultimatums. They see stating their position as strength, not weakness, especially with talk of war crimes off the table. President Trump ramped up the heat, warning Iran on Fox News and Truth Social that without a deal, bridges and power plans could drop across the country.

1:00He set a hard deadline for Tuesday at 8 p.m. eastern time, saying the whole nation could go dark in one night. Tensions stay sky high as talks drag on, with the Strait still closed and everyone's eyes on that ticking clock could spark real fireworks if no one's. Backing down soon.
