President Trump has issued a stark warning to Iran, setting a Tuesday night deadline for the country to strike a deal or face military action targeting its infrastructure.
Speaking with reporters, Trump laid out the stakes in blunt terms. "The entire country can be taken out in one night," he said, adding that "that night might be tomorrow night."
The ultimatum marks an escalation in tensions between Washington and Tehran, with Trump suggesting the speed and scope of any potential military response. The deadline gives Iranian leadership less than 24 hours to move toward negotiations before facing what Trump characterized as decisive military action.
The threat comes as part of broader efforts by the Trump administration to pressure Iran into accepting terms acceptable to the United States. Previous rounds of negotiations have stalled, and the president has shown little patience for drawn-out diplomatic processes.
It remained unclear whether Iran would respond to the ultimatum or how quickly any potential military action might be ordered if talks did not materialize by the stated deadline. The statement represents one of Trump's most direct threats toward Iran's critical infrastructure in recent weeks.
