Trump accuses Iran of ‘total violation’ of ceasefire and threatens new attacks

info

“US President Donald Trump accused Iran on Sunday of a “total violation” of the two countries’ ceasefire for firing on ships near the Strait of Hormuz, and renewed a threat to wipe out Iran’s bridges and power plants unless it accepted his terms.”

SINGLE SOURCE

The evidence provided details multiple events related to Trump's statements and Iran's actions regarding the Strait of Hormuz, including accusations of violations and threats. However, none of the retrieved evidence explicitly combines all elements—Trump accusing Iran of a 'total violation' *and* renewing the threat to wipe out bridges/power plants—into a single, corroborated report. The claims are drawn from multiple related reports, but the specific combination of accusations and threats is not independently verified by multiple sources.
