US-Iran talks will resume in Pakistan on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump tells Fox News.
White House envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are heading to Islamabad for the negotiations, says the US president.
If Tehran does not agree to a deal, Trump says, the whole of Iran will be “blown up.”
He tells the outlet that bridges and power plants in Iran will be targeted.
Trump says he is demanding that Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz and give up its highly enriched uranium.
The ceasefire is set to expire on Wednesday.
