Washington DC: US President Donald Trump warned that the US could take out the entire country of Iran in one night, and that night might be Tuesday evening.

The entire country (Iran) can be taken out in one night. It can be tomorrow night, he said. He threatened to attack Iranian power plants, bridges and other infrastructure if Tehran fails to make a deal or reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump in his social media account Truth Social said that Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.

This was followed by a post mentioning the exact time Trump’s deadline was ending, Tuesday, 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time!

Speaking to the media Trump said that he had options against Iran even more severe than his previous threats to destroy the country’s power plants and bridges. They’ll have no bridges, they’ll have no power plants, they’ll have no anything. I won’t go further because there are other things that are worse than those two, he added.

Trump acknowledged that a 45-day ceasefire proposal had been put forward by countries working to end the war, calling it a significant step but stopping short of accepting it.

Trump said he is the only person who can determine whether a ceasefire happens. Iran has already rejected the proposal, with state media reporting that Tehran’s ten-clause response calls for a permanent end to the war in line with Iran’s considerations. A temporary pause would only allow adversaries to prepare for further conflict, he said.
