United States President, Donald Trump, has announced that American negotiators will head to Pakistan on Monday to resume talks aimed at ending the conflict involving Iran, while issuing a stark warning that Washington could target Iran’s critical infrastructure, including power plants and bridges, if a deal is not reached.
In a social media post on Sunday, Trump struck a defiant tone, warning of severe consequences if Tehran refuses to agree to terms proposed by Washington.
He also accused Iran of breaching a recently agreed two-week ceasefire, alleging that Iranian forces carried out attacks on Saturday in the strategically critical Strait of Hormuz.
Trump said he was offering Iran “a reasonable deal” and if Tehran says no “the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!”
The latest remarks underscore growing friction between both nations, with concerns mounting over the potential for further escalation.
The Strait of Hormuz, a vital passage for global oil shipments, has often been a flashpoint in US-Iran relations, and any instability there could have far-reaching economic and security implications worldwide.
Diplomatic observers say the choice of Pakistan as a venue for renewed engagement may reflect efforts to involve neutral or strategic regional players in de-escalation efforts.
However, uncertainty remains over whether Iran will return to the negotiating table under mounting pressure and threats.
As tensions persist, the international community continues to monitor developments closely, urging restraint from both sides while emphasizing the need for sustained dialogue to prevent a broader regional conflict.
