Previously, US President Donald Trump vowed to bomb Iran to the "stone age" if the deal covering the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz was not realized by Tuesday night, April 7 local time.

Even Trump openly threatened to attack Iran's energy infrastructure.

"We're giving them until tomorrow, 8 p.m. Eastern time, and after that, they're not going to have a bridge," Trump said at a White House news conference on Monday.

"They will not have power plants," he continued.
