April 6 (UPI) -- U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that the United States is prepared to destroy much of Iran's civilian infrastructure by midnight Tuesday if no deal is reached between the two countries.
He made the comments to reporters during a White House news briefing on the status of the war in Iran. He and military officials also offered new details about the rescue of two pilots of an F-15E that was shot down over Iran on Friday.
Trump repeated his threat to send Iran back to "the stone ages."
"We have a plan, because of the power of our military, where every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o'clock tomorrow night, where every power plant in Iran will be out of business -- burning, exploding and never to be used again," he said.
