Trump Threatens Attacks on Iranian Bridges and Power Plants as Peace Talks Continue

President Trump threatened to destroy Iran's power plants and bridges if the country does not accept his peace deal terms, as his envoys prepared to return for negotiations in Pakistan. The threats came amid a fragile two-week ceasefire that was nearing its end, with Trump stating he was "under no pressure whatsoever" to reach a deal. This followed earlier apocalyptic warnings (made in preceding days) where Trump had threatened attacks "bigger, better, and stronger than anyone has ever seen before" and warned that "a whole civilization will die tonight." The threats targeted civilian infrastructure and came as diplomatic efforts stalled, with Iran indicating uncertainty about attending further talks. The targeting of civilian infrastructure raises serious concerns under international humanitarian law.

"If Iran does not accept his peace deal offer, he will order strikes to destroy all of the country's power plants and bridges." — Statement made via social media during ongoing peace negotiations in Pakistan, as reported by CBS News. Note: This appears to be a paraphrased summary rather than verbatim quote; original platform and exact wording should be verified from primary source.
