Trump threatens to blow up Iran as peace proposal fails
President Donald Trump has stated the U.S. will either strike a deal or "blow up" Iran, asserting the conflict will end shortly after the midterm elections. Washington rejected an Iranian seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear talks because Tehran demanded immediate sanctions relief and access to frozen assets.
