Live updates on the ongoing tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran reveal a stalemate in ceasefire negotiations. Iran has dismissed a proposal for a 45-day ceasefire presented on Monday, complicating efforts for de-escalation. As concerns rise over the strategic Strait of Hormuz, US President Donald Trump has intensified his warnings, suggesting that significant military action is imminent, which could have serious implications for the region and beyond.

In his latest remarks, Trump indicated a willingness to take drastic measures against Iran, stating that the country could be incapacitated in a single night, potentially as soon as Tuesday, if it does not comply with US demands. He claimed that it would only take “about four hours” to dismantle critical infrastructure such as bridges and power stations, warning of the “complete demolition” of essential facilities.

During a press briefing at the White House, Trump expressed indifference towards the potential for war crimes, asserting that the real crime lies in possessing nuclear weapons. He did not rule out the possibility of targeting civilian areas, suggesting that Iranians might endure hardship for the sake of freedom. Although he acknowledged the 45-day ceasefire as a “significant step,” he deemed it insufficient.
