Trump threatens renewed bombing of Iran if no deal is reached before Wednesday ceasefire deadline
President Trump warned that the U.S. would resume strikes on Iran, including targeting bridges and power plants, if a deal is not reached before a Wednesday deadline ending a temporary ceasefire. Peace negotiations are set to resume in Islamabad, Pakistan. Iran's deputy foreign minister rejected U.S. demands to hand over enriched uranium as a 'non-starter,' and Iran fired on at least two ships in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday.

The split, in one line
Breitbart foregrounds Trump's maximalist ultimatum and Iran as an 'Islamist regime,' while ABC News centers Trump's mixed signals and ceasefire violations, and Al Jazeera/The Hill treat it as a straightforward threat. The specificity of targets, every single bridge and power plant, appears only in some outlets.
