The official indicated that such attacks could occur within the next week, signaling an effort to increase pressure on Tehran after Trump's ultimatum. President Donald Trump said on Sunday about the prospects of reaching an agreement with Iran on Monday, just before his deadline for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, or face potential heavy bombing. In response to the growing conflict, an Iranian official reported that five people were killed in U.S.-Israeli strikes on Saturday, which targeted a petrochemical hub in the southwest, as reported by the ISNA news agency. Adding to the tensions, Iran's culture minister dismissed President Donald Trump's recent threats, describing the U.S. leader as an "unstable, delusional figure." On Sunday, President Trump declared his intention to target Iran's power plants and bridges this Tuesday if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to marine traffic.
