Yahoo • • nation
Key Points:
- President Trump threatened to destroy all power plants and bridges in Iran if Tehran abandons the U.S. nuclear deal, emphasizing a tough stance and criticizing previous administrations for inaction over 47 years.
- A two-week ceasefire between the U.S., Israel, and Iran is set to expire Wednesday, with ongoing negotiations in Islamabad led by U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and senior adviser Jared Kushner, though Vice President JD Vance's participation remains uncertain.
- Trump accused Iran of violating the truce early by attacking vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, which India confirmed involved Indian-flagged ships, and mocked Iran's announcement of closing the strait amid a U.S. naval blockade causing significant economic losses to Iran.
- Iranian officials insisted that any agreement must be reciprocal and gradual, accusing the U.S. of using ultimatums and maintaining the naval blockade, which they labeled a "war crime," blaming Washington for undermining the ceasefire.
