00:06warning U.S. forces could destroy every bridge and power plant in the country within four hours,
00:12and that a truce proposal from international mediators was not yet enough.

00:24Tuesday
00:24or face a newly devastating round of bombing.
00:28Both Trump and Iran have said that a proposal touted by international mediators for a 45-day ceasefire is not
00:36yet ready.
00:37Trump had earlier accepted the ceasefire plan was a significant proposal but went on to say it was not good
00:44enough.

00:50and insists on the need for a definitive end to the conflict.
00:54Trump said intermediaries are negotiating now on improving the ceasefire proposal
