Trump Doubles Down With War Warning as Deadline Looms

President Donald Trump made renewed threats against Iran on Sunday, telling a reporter that the country faces “total decimation” if it does not comply with his ultimatum about reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

On Saturday evening, the president threatened to “obliterate” Iran’s power plants if the nation did not fully open the crucial strait within 48 hours. The deadline ends Monday night at approximately 7.45 p.m.

Speaking to Israel’s Channel 13 News reporter Neria Kraus on Sunday, Trump doubled down on his threats, telling Kraus in response to her question about whether Iran will cave to his ultimatum, “You’re gonna find out soon. It’s gonna be very good. Total decimation of Iran. It’s gonna work out very good.”
