Trump sets final Iran deadline

Trump sets final Iran deadline

President Donald Trump has intensified his rhetoric against Iran, setting a strict 8 p.m. Tuesday deadline for a comprehensive deal to end the conflict and reopen vital shipping lanes.

During a volatile White House press conference, the President warned that the entire country could be 'taken out in one night' if demands are not met.

The Pentagon has reportedly expanded its list of strike options to include power plants, desalination facilities, and every major bridge across the nation.

Despite the threats, Iranian officials have rejected a temporary 45-day ceasefire, insisting instead on a permanent cessation of hostilities and the lifting of sanctions.
