Trump warns 'Iran could be taken out in one night, could be tomorrow'

As the conflict in Iran entered its 37th day, US President Donald Trump declared that the United States was firmly in control of the situation and could, if required, overpower the entire nation within a single night. Speaking at a press briefing at the White House, Trump said, "The entire country can be taken out in one night. And that night might be tomorrow night." His remarks came just ahead of the deadline he has set for



Tehran to reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz.

In a social media post, the US President announced that Iran must lift the blockade by Tuesday at 8 pm (Eastern Time). Failing this, he warned of targeted strikes on key power plants and critical infrastructure. Meanwhile, Iranian authorities responded that the waterway would stay closed until compensation for war-related damage is provided.
