President Donald Trump Widens Threat to All of Iran's Power Plants and Bridges as His Deadline for a Deal Approaches

Trump said Iran has until Tuesday night to accept a deal as mediators reported Tehran rejected a 45-day cease-fire proposal.

  • On Monday, President Donald Trump expanded his threat against Iran to include all power plants and bridges, demanding the country open the Strait of Hormuz or face total demolition by Tuesday at 8 p.m.
  • Tehran rejected a 45-day ceasefire proposal, demanding a permanent end to the war and sanctions relief, which prompted the administration to shift the ultimatum deadline from Monday to Tuesday evening.
  • Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth celebrated the rescue of two American pilots shot down on Friday, comparing one aviator's survival to a resurrection during his Monday briefing.
  • The Israeli Defense Force warned Iranian civilians to avoid trains, while United Nations spokesperson Stephane Dujarric noted that attacking civilian infrastructure violates international law.
  • Trump warned that without a deal, "Hell will reign down" and Iran would be sent to the "stone ages," though officials claim the U.S. has a plan to rebuild after the destruction.
