Trump issues new warning to Tehran, Iran calls US peace proposals 'unrealistic'

- On Monday, President Donald Trump warned that the U.S. would "obliterate" Iran's energy plants and oil wells if Tehran does not open the Strait of Hormuz, setting a one-week timeframe to assess whether new Iranian leadership will engage in negotiations.

- White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump wanted to reach a deal before an April 6 deadline, while thousands of U.S. Army soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division have begun arriving in the Middle East to expand military options.
