US President Donald Trump has warned Iran of severe military action, including strikes on bridges and power plants, if it refuses to accept a proposed US deal. The threat comes amid heightened tensions following accusations that Iran violated a ceasefire and continued disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump signalled both diplomacy and aggression, confirming that US officials will resume talks with Iranian representatives in Pakistan. Iran, however, has resisted US demands, maintaining control over the strategic waterway. The situation has raised fears of further escalation, threatening global oil supplies and regional stability.
