Donald Trump has threatened to 'obliterate' Iran by destroying all of its bridges and power plants in just four hours tomorrow night.
He said 'very little is off limits', adding: 'We have a plan because of the power of our military. Every bridge in Iran will be decimated by by 12 o'clock tomorrow night (05:00 BST Wednesday).
'Every power plant will be out of business, burning, exploding and never to be used again, I mean complete demolition by 12 o'clock. It will happen over a period of four hours if we want it to.'
Mr Trump has given Tehran a deadline of 20:00 ET tomorrow night (01:00 BST Wednesday) to make a deal with the US or face 'living in hell' within just four hours.
He added: 'We don't want that to happen. We may even get involved with them rebuild their nation. If that's the case, the last thing we want to do is start with power plants which are among the most expensive things - and bridges.'
The president also vowed to find the 'sick person' who 'leaked' details of the 'very historic' US rescue mission of a downed airman in Iran.
Speaking at a press conference at the White House, he said his administration is looking 'very hard' to find the person responsible for the leak.
Mr Trump said this is a matter of 'national security' before warning the reporter they will be imprisoned if they don't reveal who gave them information.
'They put the mission at great risk,' Mr Trump said.
Key moments from a fiery press conference
Donald Trump held a press conference at the White House on Monday, where he threatened to obliterate Tehran in just fours tomorrow, destroying all of their bridges and power plants.
In an explosive 90 minutes, the US President also said:
The journalist who published leaked information on the US rescue mission of a downed airman will be arrested if they don't reveal their source
He reiterated the threat to send Iran 'back to the Stone Ages'
Mr Trump touted the prospect of the US charging tolls for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz
He lashed out at NATO allies for not unconditionally supporting the war in Iran, claiming it has 'left a mark that will never disappear in my mind'.
The president also hit out at the UK, claiming Sir Keir Starmer only offered to send 'two old broken aircraft carriers' before swiping that they 'barely work'
He claimed Iran has slaughtered 45,000 anti-government protesters since January
US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said tonight will see the heaviest onslaught on Iran yet.
Iran rejects ceasefire proposal
Iran has formally objected to a ceasefire proposal put forward by Pakistan, Iranian state media is reporting.
The Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reports Iran wants a permanent end to the war instead.
According to the IRNA, Iran has called for an end to hostilities in the region, new protocols regarding passage through the Strait of Hormuz and sanctions to be lifted.
It comes after Pakistan put together a framework to end hostilities and exchanged it with Iran and the US overnight.
The proposal includes an immediate ceasefire followed by an agreement to permanently end the war.
All the Iranian power plants in Trump's crosshairs
President Donald Trump has issued a new threat to Iran, promising to 'blow everything up and take over the oil' if the country does not make a deal with the US soon.
During a phone call with Fox News' chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst on Sunday morning, Trump told him he is considering taking far more drastic measures.
'If they don't reach a deal - and soon - I'm considering blowing everything up and taking control of the oil,' Trump said, according to Yingst.
Trump's latest threat comes just hours after he issued a foul-mouthed rant on social media, bizarrely ending the post with the phrase: 'Praise be to Allah.'
He wrote in a Truth Social post early on Easter Sunday morning: 'Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran.
'There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F***in’ Strait, you crazy b*****ds, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.'
The commander-in-chief said Iran has until Tuesday at 8pm to accept the offer, he shared to Truth Social on Sunday afternoon.
