Trump Threatens Iran Over Blockade

Tensions between Washington and Tehran have reached a critical flashpoint as President Donald Trump warned he would 'knock out every power plant and bridge' if negotiations fail.

The threat comes as Iran reversed its decision to open the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil chokepoint, leading to reports of gunfire aimed at commercial vessels.

While a U.S. delegation is scheduled for last-ditch talks in Islamabad, both sides remain publicly distant from a final agreement.

The standoff has already triggered global economic anxiety, with oil markets and shipping routes facing significant disruption.
