Iran and the US are in talks about implementing a 45-day ceasefire as Donald Trump threatens to destroy Iranian power plants unless the Strait of Hormuz is fully reopened, it has been reported.

Mediators are said to be discussing terms for a temporary truce which could pave the way for an end to the war which today enters its sixth week.

Multiple insiders told Axios the chances of reaching a deal before Trump’s Tuesday deadline are ‘slim’ after Iran dismissed several US proposals in recent day.

The President warned tomorrow will be ‘Power Plant Day’ as he threatened to attack Iran’s civilian infrastructure unless the Strait of Hormuz is fully reopened.

Speaking last night, Trump told Axios: ‘There is a good chance, but if they don’t make a deal, I am blowing up everything over there.’

Iran has threatened Donald Trump with ‘devastating and widespread’ retaliations after he vowed to hit the Middle East nation’s power plants in an expletive-filled post.

The Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters – Iran’s highest operational military command unit – said early this morning: ‘If attacks on civilian targets are repeated, the next stages of our offensive and retaliatory operations will be much more devastating and widespread.’

The statement, shared by Iranian broadcasters, came after Trump’s threats to attack civilian infrastructure if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened again.

In a foul-mouthed tirade, the US leader said on Sunday: ‘Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran.

‘There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F*****’ Strait, you crazy b*******, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.’
