US President Donald Trump on Monday threatened to decimate Iran within four hours if it did not agree to a deal by Tuesday night, while brushing aside allegations of possible war crimes in case of attacks on power plants and bridges. “We have a plan, because of the power of our military, where every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o'clock tomorrow (Tuesday) night, where every power plant in Iran will be out of business, burning, exploding, and never to be used again, I mean complete demolition by 12 o'clock, and it'll happen over a period of four hours, if we wanted to,” Trump told a press conference here. He asked Iran to make a deal with the US and open the Hormuz Strait for free movement of oil by 8 pm Eastern Time on Tuesday.

Trump brushed off criticism of his expletive-laden references to causing destruction in Iran if they failed to make a deal to end the war. “I don’t care about critics,” Trump said Monday to a question on his reference to Iranians as “crazy bastards” “I haven’t heard that,” the US President said to critics calling for his mental health to be examined, should the war continue.
Trump also lashed out at the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), accusing the alliance and other friendly nations such as South Korea, Japan and Australia of failing to help the US in the Iran war. Trump's remarks at a press conference at the White House on Monday came days ahead of NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte's visit to Washington to meet the US President, who has dismissed the alliance as a "paper tiger". Trump said the war with Iran had left a mark on NATO "that will never disappear in my mind."
