With a deadline looming over the reopening of the strategic Strait of Hormuz, US President Donald Trump has sharply raised the stakes, warning of sweeping military action and signalling a decisive phase in the crisis that could have far-reaching consequences for the region and beyond.
What Trump said: Trump has sharply escalated his rhetoric, warning that Iran could be “taken out in one night” — possibly as soon as Tuesday — if it fails to meet US demands. He said it would take “about four hours” to destroy Iran’s bridges and power plants, threatening “complete demolition” of key infrastructure.Story continues below this ad
At a White House press conference, Trump said he was “not at all” concerned about potential war crimes, adding: “You know what’s a war crime? Having a nuclear weapon.” He declined to rule out civilian targets and claimed Iranians “would be willing to suffer” if it ultimately brought freedom. While calling a proposed 45-day ceasefire a “significant step”, he said it was “not good enough”.
