dailyloe.com – A proposal for a 45-day ceasefire in the Iran conflict is actively being discussed, a senior White House official told NBC News on April 6, 2026. This comes just ahead of a renewed deadline from President Trump concerning the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The official stressed the president has not yet approved the plan.
Iran has threatened a severe response if President Trump acts on threats to strike its energy infrastructure. Trump had issued an expletive-laden warning ahead of his latest deadline to reopen the vital oil shipping lane. He has since pushed that deadline back to the following night.
President Trump will hold a news conference on the rescue of a downed F-15E crew member, which he called an Easter miracle. The rescue was praised in a text message to NBC News. This follows intense overnight attacks that resulted in numerous casualties.
The head of intelligence for Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, Maj. Gen. Majid Khademi, was killed in a targeted attack. Iranian state media confirmed his death, while Israel claimed responsibility for the assassination. Dozens more were reported dead in the widespread overnight strikes.
The regional death toll has surpassed 3,400 people since hostilities escalated. Israeli and U.S. strikes inside Iran have reportedly killed more than 1,900 individuals. The situation remains highly volatile as diplomatic efforts continue.[]
