Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran, threatening to destroy all bridges and power plants in the country if they refuse to comply with a ceasefire deal. The U.S. President has set a deadline for Iran to reopen the crucial shipping route, the Strait of Hormuz, by 8pm ET. Failure to do so will result in severe military action, with Trump stating that every bridge in Iran will be destroyed and power plants will be rendered inoperable.
Iran has indicated that it will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz unless a temporary ceasefire is agreed upon. Reports suggest that a ceasefire plan, mediated by Pakistan, has been proposed to end the ongoing conflict. In the midst of escalating tensions, there have been reports of attacks, including an incident at a railway bridge in Kashan city, resulting in casualties.
Furthermore, a cargo vessel near the Strait of Hormuz has been struck by an unknown projectile, causing damage above the waterline. Investigations are ongoing, with authorities confirming the safety of the crew members. Amidst the turmoil, there are concerns about potential war crimes and the use of military bases by the U.S. for offensive purposes.
As the situation continues to unfold, diplomatic efforts are underway to de-escalate the conflict. The international community is closely monitoring the developments, with a focus on ensuring the safety of vital shipping routes and preventing further escalation of hostilities.
