Trump issues final Iran ultimatum

Tensions in the Middle East have reached a critical inflection point as President Donald Trump expansion of military threats now includes Iran's entire power grid and transportation network.

During a lengthy White House press conference, the President suggested that the United States has a comprehensive plan to decimate Iranian infrastructure within a four-hour window if his terms are not met by 8 p.m. ET. While Tehran has submitted a 10-point counterproposal through Pakistani intermediaries, the administration has dismissed the offer as insufficient.

Experts and international observers have raised concerns that targeting civilian assets could constitute war crimes under international law, though the President has brushed off such warnings.
