WASHINGTON -- US President Donald Trump renewed his threat to wipe out Iran's power plants and bridges if it doesn't reach an agreement to end the war and open the Strait of Hormuz, warning the country could be taken out in one night.

Speaking on April 6 at a White House news conference alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Trump framed the moment as a defining point in a rapidly escalating confrontation.

The entire country could be taken out in one night -- and that night might be tomorrow night, Trump said, underscoring an April 7 deadline for Iran to comply with the US demands.

"This is a critical period. They have a period of, well, till tomorrow, at eight o'clock."
