US President Donald Trump has issued a fresh and aggressive warning against Iran, claiming that the United States has the capability to “take out the entire country in one night.”
Speaking on Monday, Trump suggested that such an action could happen as early as Tuesday night, indicating a sharp escalation in rhetoric amid rising tensions.
His remarks came shortly after a strongly worded post on his platform Truth Social, where he threatened to target Iran’s key infrastructure, including power plants and bridges, if Tehran does not agree to terms or reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump also mentioned a specific deadline, stating that the situation could reach a critical point by 8:00 PM Eastern Time on Tuesday.
Ceasefire Offer Rejected
Amid the rising tensions, Trump acknowledged that a 45-day ceasefire proposal had been put forward by mediating countries.
While he described it as a “significant step,” he made it clear that it was not sufficient.
According to reports, Iran has already rejected the proposal, insisting on a permanent end to the conflict rather than a temporary pause.
Strong Statements On Iran
Trump further repeated his earlier stance on Iran’s resources, saying he would prefer to take control of Iran’s oil, though he admitted that such a move would depend on public opinion in the United States.
He also made controversial remarks about the situation inside Iran, claiming that the Iranian people would rise against their government if they were given the opportunity and resources.
According to him, internal unrest could intensify under the current conditions, adding another dimension to the ongoing crisis.
Tensions Continue To Rise
The latest statements come at a time when the situation between the US and Iran remains highly volatile, with threats, counter-threats, and military developments raising fears of a wider conflict in the region.
Trump’s comments, particularly his assertion about the ability to strike Iran in a single night, have drawn attention globally and added to concerns over further escalation.
