Reuters reported that Trump warned that if an agreement is not reached by tomorrow night's deadline, the US military will launch a massive attack on Iran's civilian infrastructure.
During the Easter Egg Roll event held at the White House today, Trump told the media: "They don't want to 'beg for mercy' yet, but they will. If they don't, there won't be a single bridge left standing in their country." He also added that it is "highly unlikely" he would extend the deadline again.
However, when asked by a reporter if striking power plants could violate war crimes, he responded: "I am not worried. Do you know what a war crime is? Allowing Iran to possess nuclear weapons is a war crime."
In addition, Trump stated that if it were solely up to his personal decision, the United States would take control of Iran's oil, but he subsequently noted that the American public might not understand such a move. (Compiled by: Liu Shu-qin) 1150407
