US President Donald Trump said his representatives will travel to Islamabad on Monday evening for talks that will address the situation related to Iran.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Washington is offering Tehran a “very good and fair deal” and expressed hope that Iran would accept the agreement.

“We’re offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take ​it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to ​knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran,” he posted ‌on ⁠social media. “NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!”

Trump warned that if Iran does not accept the agreement, the consequences would be serious.

He said that in the absence of a deal, Iran’s power plants could be targeted and infrastructure, including bridges, could be damaged.

Trump added that if no agreement is reached, he would take whatever measures he considers necessary.

Global oil prices fell, and stock markets surged on Friday when Iran first announced it would reopen the strait, which it had effectively closed to all shipping apart from its own ​since Trump and ​Israel launched the ⁠war on February 28.

But after Trump said he would continue a blockade of Iranian shipping, Tehran said ​on Saturday it was keeping the strait closed. At ​least two ⁠ships reported they had been fired upon approaching the strait on Saturday.
