Donald Trump's still threatening to completely destroy Iran as his revised deadline for a deal inches closer.  

The President's demanding Tehran lift its blockade on traffic passing through the Strait of Hormuz by tomorrow afternoon.  

Otherwise, he says, US forces will blow up all of the country's bridges and power infrastructure within four hours.  

Former Marine Gil Barndollar told Mike Hosking it doesn't look like hostilities will ease any time soon.  

He says Iran has rejected a ceasefire proposal, as it wants guarantees it's not going to be attacked again.  

Barndollar says the country has no trust in Trump and the US.
