Iran denies talks with US after Trump postpones strikes on power grid

On Monday, the Revolutionary Guards threatened to attack Israel's power plants and Gulf bases if President Donald Trump executes his threat to "obliterate" Iran's power network, the Guards said in a statement.
Trump warned Saturday that Iranian power plants face destruction unless Tehran failed to "fully open" the Strait of Hormuz to all shipping within 48 hours, setting a Monday deadline.
Electricity powers desalination plants producing 100% of the water consumed in Bahrain and Qatar, while seawater meets 80% of drinking water needs in the United Arab Emirates.
Strikes hit residential buildings in Khorramabad, killing six and injuring 43, while the Saudi defence ministry reported two ballistic missiles were launched toward Riyadh amid reports Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is "injured, isolated, and not responding."
The conflict launched February 28 has killed more than 2,000 people, upending markets and spiking fuel costs, while Hezbollah's rocket campaign prompted an Israeli offensive that killed more than 1,000 people in Lebanon.
