Donald Trump threatens Iran with infrastructure destruction while exploring uranium seizure

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a warning to Iran, stating that failure to reach a swift agreement and open the Strait of Hormuz will result in the destruction of Iranian oil fields, power plants, and desalination facilities. Trump claimed the U.S. is currently in talks with a 'new and more rational' Iranian regime, though Iranian officials have denied any direct negotiations. The U.S. leader also expressed uncertainty regarding the status of Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Ali Khamenei, noting he has not been seen since late February. Furthermore, reports from the Wall Street Journal indicate that the Trump administration is evaluating a high-risk military mission to seize approximately 400 kilograms of high-enriched uranium from Iranian underground facilities. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that no final decision on the mission has been made. Meanwhile, concerns grow regarding the potential impact of Houthi militant activity in the region on global shipping and energy prices. Tehran maintains its stance against direct diplomatic contact with Washington.
