Iran dismisses Trump ultimatum

Iran's central military command on Saturday brushed aside US President Donald Trump's threat to destroy the country's vital infrastructure if it did not accept a peace deal within 48 hours.

General Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi called Trump's ultimatum "a helpless, nervous, unbalanced and stupid action".

Trump had posted on social media earlier in the day: "Time is running out -- 48 hours before all Hell will reign (sic) down on them."
