TOI correspondent from Washington: US President Donald Trump on Monday threatened to annihilate Iran as a nation, threatening its drinking water infrastructure, energy grid, and its oil wells unless it capitulated in ongoing talks – which Teheran denies are taking place.
In a series of confounding posts and statements that appeared to be aimed at turning the heat on a defiant Iran, Trump, taunted by critics who say he has led the US into another needless war, said Washington is in “serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran,” without identifying the interlocutors.
