US President Donald Trump has warned that the United States would target every bridge and power plant in Iran if the regime does not accept a ceasefire deal by 8pm Tuesday, Washington time.
Speaking at a press conference, Trump said that Iran “could be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night.”
Iran state media reported that Iran has rejected a proposed 45-day ceasefire.
In addition to his warning, Trump criticised Australia and other allies over what he described as a lack of support in the early stages of the conflict.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has pledged retaliation following the death of its intelligence chief, Major General Majid Khademi, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Monday.
According to Fars News Agency, four additional Iranian officers were killed during an operation aimed at intercepting US aircraft.
Trump, senior administration and military leaders have been engaged in extended discussions about efforts to rescue two personnel who were on board an F-15 Eagle shot down over Iran.
