Trump threatens to destroy Iranian infrastructure if 8pm deadline not met for deal reopening Strait of Hormuz

President Trump issued an ultimatum to Iran with an 8pm ET Tuesday deadline to reach a deal that includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to destroy all bridges and power plants within four hours if no agreement is reached. Trump detailed a recent rescue operation of a downed U.S. airman in Iran involving over 150 aircraft. Democrats and international officials condemned the threats as potential war crimes, while diplomatic efforts continued through Pakistani, Egyptian and Turkish mediators.
