President Donald Trump declared at a press conference that Iran could be “destroyed overnight,” and said that “that night could come on Tuesday.”

“The entire country can be destroyed in one night, and that night could come tomorrow night,” CNN quoted the president as saying.
Trump has repeatedly warned that the United States could strike power plants, bridges and other infrastructure in Iran if Tehran does not make a deal or open the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil artery. Over the weekend, he said Iran has until 8 p.m. on April 7 to make a deal.
It should be noted that on April 5, Donald Trump published a post on the social network Truth Social in which he attacked Iran, demanding that it unblock the Strait of Hormuz. He called the Iranian authorities “crazy scum” and threatened to live in “hell.”

April 7 marks the end of his 10-day ultimatum to open the Strait of Hormuz and agree to a peace deal.
At the same time, as the world press writes, attempts by mediators to resolve the crisis in the Middle East through diplomatic means have now reached a dead end, and the world is on the verge of escalation.
