Trump threatens to take out Iran in 'one night' if no deal before deadline

US President Donald Trump has threatened to take out Iran "in one night" if it fails to make a deal before the deadline he set for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy route, BBC reported. 

Trump's deadline for an "acceptable" deal - one that includes the free flow of energy through the Gulf - is set for 20:00, Washington DC time on Tuesday (00:00 GMT Wednesday).

Speaking at the White House, Trump said that he believed "reasonable" leaders in Iran were negotiating in "good faith", but the outcome remained uncertain, according to BBC.
