Day 23: Iran Vows to Close Strait of Hormuz, Strikes Israel
On Day 23 of the Middle East conflict, Iran responded sharply to former US President Donald Trump’s warning about bombing its power plants. Iran’s military threatened to shut the Strait of Hormuz indefinitely and attack key infrastructure if any aggression occurs. They also plan to control and profit from this vital shipping route. Over the weekend, Iran fired missiles at southern Israel and Tel Aviv. Dozens of people were injured. Israel says it intercepted about 92 percent of the incoming ballistic missiles. In Lebanon, President Michel Aoun condemned recent Israeli strikes on southern infrastructure. He warned that these attacks may signal an imminent ground invasion and called them clear violations of international law. Casualty reports indicate thousands have died in Iran and Lebanon since the war began. Global leaders are watching anxiously, fearing the conflict could spread further across the region.
