Welcome to the News Hour. Tonight, the war with Iran is on the verge of escalation,

with President Donald Trump threatening to target Iran's power grid and Tehran vowing even more

forceful strikes on Israel and U.S. Gulf allies if there is no ceasefire by tomorrow night.

The president simultaneously expressed confidence in a diplomatic outcome, but there's no public

sign of progress.

Also today, the U.S. celebrated the successful mission that rescued the American aviators

shot down on Friday.

Nick Schiffen begins our report on a busy day in Iran and at the White House.

Today in Tehran, another dawn lit up by airstrikes on an airport.

And an apartment building cut in half in an attack that state media reported killed six,

as President Trump threatened escalation.

We have a plan because of the power of our military, where every bridge in Iran will be

decimated by 12 o'clock tomorrow night, where every power plant in Iran will be out of business,

burning, exploding, and never to be used again.

I mean, complete demolition by 12 o'clock.

Yesterday he used coarser language threatening, quote, Tuesday will be power plant day and

bridge day all wrapped up in one in Iran. There will be nothing like it. Open the fucking

straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. Just watch.

Praise be to Allah.

They have till tomorrow.

Now we'll see what happens.

I can tell you they're negotiating.
