Trump issues fresh Iran threats

President Donald Trump has escalated his rhetoric against Tehran, threatening to 'knock out every single power plant and every single bridge' in Iran.

This aggressive stance follows reports of ceasefire violations in the Strait of Hormuz, where commercial vessels allegedly came under fire.

While a U.S. delegation is scheduled to resume negotiations in Islamabad, the President has emphasized that he will not be blackmailed by the closure of vital shipping lanes.

Iranian officials remain skeptical, citing a deep distrust of Washington and demanding the immediate lifting of economic sanctions.
