"Donald Trump said they were 'entering a critical period' with Iran - and again threatened to send them back to the 'Stone Ages' -speaking from the White House on Monday. "This is a critical period," he said. "But we're giving them, we're giving them till tomorrow 8 o'clock Eastern Time and after that they're gonna have no bridges. They're gonna have no power plants...Stone Ages, yeah, Stone Ages." He has previously threatened to bomb Iran back to the Stone Ages if they don't make a deal - evoking memories of George W Bush's remarks to Pakistan if they didn't help with the Afghanistan war. On Sunday, Trump set a deadline for the re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz: "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F***in’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP." Iran's navy said that "the Strait of Hormuz will never return to its former state, especially for America and Israel". The US and Israel launched strikes on Iran on February 28. Tehran responded with strikes on Israel and US assets in the region, with the conflict now into its sixth week. Iran has reported over 2,000 deaths since the start of the war. The US has confirmed at least 13 military service personnel killed with around two dozen fatalities admitted by the Israeli side. "
