Trump warns Iran he may strike 'every power plant' as deadline to reopen Hormuz nears

Ceasefire proposal could reopen key oil route amid U.S.-Iran tensions
A Pakistan-brokered plan to halt hostilities between the U.S. and Iran could take effect as soon as Monday, according to a source familiar with the talks.
Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, has been in contact “all night long” with Vice President JD Vance, envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, the source told Reuters.
The proposal calls for an immediate ceasefire—reopening the Strait of Hormuz—followed by 15 to 20 days of negotiations on a broader agreement. The framework, dubbed the “Islamabad Accord,” would include final talks in Islamabad.
Iran has not yet agreed to the deal. The push comes as rising tensions threaten global energy markets, with President Donald Trump urging a swift resolution.
