Trump Issues 48-Hour Ultimatum to Iran Over Strait of Hormuz

President Donald Trump warned Iran that it must fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours or face U.S. strikes on its power plants. He posted on his social platform that the United States would “hit and obliterate” the largest facilities first if Tehran does not comply. This threat marks a sharp escalation as the strategic waterway, which handles about one-fifth of the world’s oil shipments, has been largely closed since early March. Trump also told reporters that reopening the strait is a “simple military maneuver,” though he acknowledged it would require significant naval support.
