President Donald Trump has issued his latest threat to Iran and said that if officials fail to make a deal with the United States “the whole country is going to get blown up.”

The president also made threats Sunday morning to target civil infrastructure after it was reported that Iranian forces were refusing to allow ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz this weekend.

“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. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!” Trump wrote. The posts appeared to be an effort to bring the regime to the table for 11th-hour talks before the U.S.-Iran ceasefire expires next week.

Trump told Fox News that he was sending a team to Pakistan this week for negotiations. It was unclear whether Iran was sending its own delegation after their top negotiator said both sides remained far apart on key issues and hit out at the U.S. over its blockade of the Strait. There has been no official confirmation of talks, even as Islamabad stepped up security.

“If they don’t sign this deal, the whole country is going to get blown up,” Trump told Fox News Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst.
