'NO MORE MR. NICE GUY': President Trump Launches New Threats Against Iran Ahead of Negotiations

Trump threatened to strike Iran's power plants and bridges unless a deal is reached, as Vice President Vance leads U.S. delegation to Pakistan for negotiations before the ceasefire expires Tuesday.

  • On Monday, Vice President JD Vance, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner arrived in Pakistan to lead U.S. peace negotiations with Iran, though Iran has not publicly confirmed its participation in the talks.
  • Threatening to strike "every single power plant and bridge in Iran," President Trump insisted he would act if a deal is not reached, claiming it is his "Honor" to do what previous Presidents avoided.
  • Tensions surged yesterday when the U.S. Navy fired at and seized an Iranian commercial ship near the Strait of Hormuz; Iran's military headquarters labeled the action a violation of the two-week ceasefire expiring Tuesday.
  • "The outcome of these talks will be incredibly consequential," Waltz told ABC News, noting the president is prepared to "escalate, to de-escalate" and board Iranian ships as far east as the Pacific Ocean.
  • Gas prices averaged $4.04 per gallon on Monday, up sharply from $2.98 before the conflict; Energy Secretary Chris Wright said prices have likely peaked and could fall under $3 later this year.
