Trump threatens to annihilate Iran completely if no deal is reached

The US president doubled down on his threat to destroy every Iranian bridge and power plant in wide-ranging news conference.

US President Donald Trump said Iran could be “taken out in one night,” which “might” be Tuesday — a deadline he set for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He wouldn’t say whether the war is winding down, calling it a “critical period” that depends on Iran’s actions.
