Trump's Iran Threat: Obliterate Sites, US Troops Deploy

0:00It's March 30th. From your city to your ears, this is Sydney News today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. President Trump just dropped a bombshell threat, saying the US will obliterate Iran's electric plants, oil wells, and carg island if they don't open. The straight of Hormuz right away. He posted this on Truth Social as thousands of US troops started rolling into the Middle East on Monday. He's talking about serious talks with what he calls a new and more reasonable regime in Iran to end the war, but if no deal comes soon, those sites are toast. The White House is pointing to an April 6 deadline for Tehran to make a move. Iran's foreign ministry hit back hard, calling the US peace proposals unrealistic, illogical, and way over the top. They say they're under attack, so all their focus is on straight up defense. Meanwhile, more than 2,500 US Marines showed up over the weekend, building up for possible ops like grabbing carg island, which handles 90% of Iran's oil exports.
