Trump sets final Iran deadline

President Trump intensified his rhetoric against Tehran during a White House press conference, setting a strict 8 p.m. Tuesday deadline for a diplomatic resolution.

He warned that the U.S. military has identified every major bridge and power plant in Iran for potential destruction if the strategic shipping lane remains blocked.

While some Republican lawmakers view the threats as necessary leverage, Democrats and international law experts have warned that targeting civilian infrastructure could constitute war crimes.

Meanwhile, Iran has countered with its own 10-point proposal, insisting on a permanent end to hostilities and the lifting of sanctions rather than a temporary pause.
