“If the deal isn’t done, the deal that we made, then I’m going to take outtheir bridges and their power plants,” Trump said as he fired off another warning to repeat his threat to end “civilization” in Iran. “If they don’t sign this thing, the whole country is going to get blown up.”

“We’re preparing to hit them harder than any country has ever been hit before because you cannot let them have a nuclear weapon,” Trump added.

Those remarks came as Trump mocked the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in a Truth Social post for staking claim to aStrait of Hormuz “blockade”the U.S.military had already put in place.

“Iran recently announced that they were closing the Strait, which is strange, because our BLOCKADE has already closed it,” Trump wrote.“They’re helping us without knowing, and they are the ones that lose with the closed passage, $500 Million Dollars a day!The United States loses nothing.

“In fact, many Ships are headed, right now, to theU.S., Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska, to load up, compliments of the IRGC, always wanting to be ‘the tough guy!'”

“There’s a little bit of a fight between the moderates [in Iran] and the crazies,” Trump said.“Nobody’s winning it.”

“Our Navyhas done an unbelievable job,” he continued.“We haven’t even been challenged.”

Trump declared that Saturday’s IRGC fire was “a total violation” of the ceasefire.

“Iran decided to fire bullets yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz — A Total Violation of our Ceasefire Agreement!” his Truth Social post began.

“Many of them were aimed at a French Ship, and a Freighter from the United Kingdom.That wasn’t nice, was it?My Representatives aregoing to Islamabad, Pakistan— They will be there tomorrow evening, for Negotiations.”

Trump remains hopeful about diplomacy, but is not ruling out a return to force, where he once warned about ending “civilization” in Iran as they know it.

“We’re offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran,” Trump’s stern warning continued.

“NO MORE MR.NICE GUY!”

“They’ll come down fast, they’ll come down easy and, if they don’t take the DEAL, it will be my Honor to do what has to be done, which should have been done to Iran, by other Presidents, for the last 47 years,” Trump added.“IT’S TIME FOR THE IRAN KILLING MACHINE TO END!”

“Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are heading to the Middle East,” Trump said.“They will be leaving [Monday].Their meeting will begin on Tuesday morning.It’s a very simple deal, they’ve agreed to much of it.”

“It’s almost like they don’t learn,” he said.

Trump added that he has not made a decision ontargeting water infrastructure, including desalination plants.

“I hate to do that one,” he said.
