US President Donald Trump has taken to his Truth Social platform to repeat his threats against Iran's power plants as well as Kharg Island while also claiming to be in talks with the Iranian leadership.

 

He said Washington "is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran."

 

Despite Iran having repeatedly said it is not holding direct discussions with the US about a ceasefire, Trump said: "Great progress has been made."

 

However, he warned that if a deal isn't reached soon and the Strait of Hormuz reopened, "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!)"

 

The US president has previously threatened to attack Iranian power plants if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, but the deadline he gave was pushed back to April 6.

 

He also told reporters on Sunday that he was considering a military operation to take control of Kharg Island.
