Donald Trump has threatened to strike Iranian power plants and bridges. Iran has dismissed Mr Trump's ultimatum. On Sunday, the US president once again set a new deadline to late Tuesday for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. We have reaction from inside Iran. Meanwhile Iran continues to attack Israel and its Gulf neighbours. Iranians have attacked targeted critical energy infrastructure. We get a view from the United Arab Emirates. And a controversy in Mexico over plans to export artwork by some of their most influential artists. We hear from one of the people leading the campaign against it.
