🚨 TRUMP SETS TUESDAY DEADLINE ON IRAN AS U.S.-ISRAEL PREPARE STRIKES ON ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE AND IRAN REJECTS HORMUZ PROPOSALS
‼️ Updated U.S. deadline on Iran: President Trump announced a new deadline of Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, extending the original Monday deadline by 24 hours.
He stated: "Tuesday, 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time!"
President Trump warned of major consequences if no agreement is reached.
He said: "Tuesday will be power plant day, and bridge day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it. Open the f####n' strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell — just watch! Praise be to Allah".
He also said: "If Iran doesn't make a deal fast, I am considering blowing everything up and taking over the oil".
He told Fox News: “You will see bridges and power plants collapsing across Iran. If Iran does not quickly reach a deal with us, I am considering the option of destroying everything and seizing the oil.”
He further stated: "The reconstruction of Iran will take 20 years if they are lucky — and if they still have a country left at all".
President Trump added: "If the Iranians don't want to sign an agreement, their entire country will be destroyed".
He also said: "I do not rule out sending ground forces to Iran if an agreement is not reached".
In another statement, he added: "I think I will be able to get a deal by tomorrow".
⚠️ U.S. position on the Strait of Hormuz: A White House official told Bloomberg that Iran will not be allowed to establish a permanent system to control access to the Strait of Hormuz.
The statement came as the deadline pressure and maritime tensions continued to rise.
🇫🇷 Disagreements over a maritime escort mission: French diplomats told The Economist there are disagreements over the terms of a mission to escort ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
According to the diplomats, France wants to lead a mission involving India and China while excluding the United States.
‼️ Iran rejects proposals and threatens retaliation: The Wall Street Journal reported that Iran rejected proposals to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a temporary ceasefire and also declined to meet with U.S. officials.
The rejected proposals included an offer tied to reopening the strait.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry said: "Iran will reciprocate attacks on its infrastructure, we will target similar infrastructure owned by U.S. or related to it".
The statement directly threatened retaliation against comparable U.S. or U.S.-linked infrastructure.
