US Stock Market Live Updates: Trump says Iran talks progressing, warns of strikes if no quick deal
US President Donald Trump said there has been progress in ongoing discussions with Iran, even as he issued a stark warning that Washington could target the country’s energy infrastructure if an agreement is not reached quickly.
“The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran. Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately ‘Open for Business,’ we will conclude our lovely ‘stay’ in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet ‘touched,’” he wrote in a Truth Social post.
“This will be in retribution for our many soldiers, and others, that Iran has butchered and killed over the old Regime’s 47 year ‘Reign of Terror,’” he added.
